Embodiment Construction

[0051] refer to figure 1 , describes an automated device 2 for processing a cell suspension according to a first embodiment of the invention. The automated processing device 2 comprises at least one bottle 4 containing a cell suspension to be analyzed, for example a set of cytological suspensions.

[0052] For example, such a cytological suspension may be derived from a screening procedure by a cervical smear test, or from any other cell sampling device used for screening and / or diagnosis. The cell suspension especially comprises cells.

[0053] The cells are then submerged in a bottle 4 containing a fixative and thus form a cell suspension.

[0054]Fixatives or fixing solutions are used to maintain and store a cell sample or extract comprising cells for subsequent analysis by a cytologist. Therefore, the fixative should preserve the integrity of the cell (especially the morphology of the cell) as it was before sampling the cell.

[0055] The automation device 2 further co...

Abstract

This method for processing a plurality of cell suspensions comprises at least the following steps: (a) loading a plurality of phials (4) onto a receiving plate (6), each phial (4) comprising a cell suspension to be analysed; (b) loading a plurality of intermediate containers (20) into a receptacle (18); (c) extracting, by virtue of pipetting means (24), a sample of a cell suspension from a phial (4) and depositing this sample in an intermediate container (20); and (e) taking a sample of a cell suspension from an intermediate container (20) and depositing this sample in an analysis container (32, 36); steps (c) and (e) being repeated for each phial (4) to be analysed. The method also comprises, between the extracting step (c) and the sample-taking step (e), a step (d) of cell treatment of the sample extracted, by virtue of cell treatment means, step (d) being repeated for each phial (4) to be treated. The invention also relates to an automated device implementing this method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for processing a cell suspension, said type of method comprising at least the following steps: [0002] (a) loading a plurality of vials on the receiving plate, each vial comprising a cell suspension to be analyzed; [0003] (b) loading multiple intermediate containers in the receptacle; [0004] (c) extracting a sample from the cell suspension in the bottle by means of a suction device, and depositing the sample in an intermediate container; and [0005] (e) extracting a sample from the cell suspension in the intermediate container and depositing the sample in the analysis container; repeating steps (c) and (e) for each vial to be analyzed. [0006] The invention also relates to automated equipment for applying the method. [0007] The field of the invention is that of systems for the processing and analysis of cell suspensions, in particular of systems for the processing and analysis of a population of diffuse cells...
