AUTOMATED SYSTEM TO CREATE A CELL SMEAR |
摘要 |
A method of creating a layer of cells on a surface. In some embodiments, the method includes the steps of engaging a smear tool against the surface with an engagement force; flexing a portion of the smear tool to change an orientation of the smear tool with respect to the surface; moving the smear tool along the surface through a sample comprising cells suspended in a liquid; and adhering the sample to the surface to thereby create a layer of cells. Another method according to the invention creates a layer of cells on a surface by mixing the sample prior to and/or during the smear. The invention also includes systems for implementing the methods.
