Cytospin 4 Cytocentrifuge
The Cytospin™ 4 cytocentrifuge has been synonymous with cytocentrifugationfor over 40 years and is used in laboratories around the world.
When combined with Epredia cytology consumables, it provides economical
thin-layer preparations from any liquid matrix, especially hypocellular fluids suchas spinal fluid and urine.

Convenience and Speed Spun into One• Process twelve specimens at one time, allowing for several protocols at once
• Accepts all protocols from previous generations of Cytospin cytocentrifuges• Lid release mechanism allows for one-handed opening and closing• Removable program card allows for up to nine programs to be logged for fastand convenient reference, and protected program memory stores up to 23
routines for instant recall• Control panel allows user to control power and time, and monitor speed• Specimen safety alarm feature reminds users at one-minute intervals toremove specimens, protecting them from air-drying

Simple Principle for Excellent Presentation• Using centrifugal principles, the cytocentrifuge deposits cells onto a clearly
defined area of a glass slide and allows for the absorption of the residual fluid
into the sample chamber’s filter card
• Cytocentrifugation constructively flattens cells for excellent nuclear presentation
Physical Specifications
Dimensions (D x W x H):
With closed lid:
24.5 x 16 x 9.5 in. (62 x 40.5 x 24 cm)
With open lid:
24.5 x 16 x 25 in. (62 x 40.5 x 62.5 cm)
Weight:26.5 lbs / 12 kg
Power Requirements:
100-240 V, 50/60Hz, 150 VA, 5A
250 V, T5A 250 V• The instrument’s spinning action tilts the Cytofunnel sample chamber uprightand centrifuges cells onto the deposition area of the slide, creating a cellularmonolayer that provides all cell types equal opportunity for presentation• In the “load” or “stop” position, this unique tilting feature reduces cell loss by
preventing residual fluid from coming into contact with the prepared slide

Designed for User Safety• Only operates when the lid is locked and remains locked during rotation• Polycarbonate window allows the operator to see the sealed head
during cytocentrifugation

Includes:Cytospin 4 cytocentrifuge, sealed
head/rotor, marking pen, operator
guide, service record book andstandard workflow diagram.

Research/General Use• A cost-effective and time-effective way to make quality
thin-layer cell preparations• Excellent for molecular studies, specialized stainingapplications and EM• Excellent performance for non-gynecological cytology,
especially hypocellular fluids• Variety of collection fluids and funnel options available• Prepares both air-dried and fixed specimens• Can be used for liquid-based cytology (LBC) applications

Microbiology• Microrganisms are often present in low numbers fromlimited sample volumes; Cytocentrifugation effectively spins
the microrganisms onto the slide, maximizing the yieldand presenting those organisms in a clean, defined area,
allowing for straightforward morphological identification• Only a small sample volume is needed so multiple
samples may be run for a variety of special staining andsupport testing procedures• Concentrates samples for Gram stains

You’ll need:

Hematology/Oncology• Easy to achieve a constant cell/unit volume

cytofunnels• Excellent for all fluids, bone marrow and peripheral bloodcytoslides
