Definition
It is a system that is used to collect and prepare cervical cytology specimens for Pap stain-based screening for cervical cancer. The specimens are collected and rinsed into a liquid preservative fluid from which they are then automatically filtered and deposited in a thin-layer on a glass microscope slide. They are stained and screened by a cytotechnologist and cytopathologist.
