The invention belongs to the technical field of
biology, and relates to a
bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) preserving fluid, a kit and a cytological test method. The preservation solution is composed of
TCEP, N-
acetylcysteine, EDTA.2Na,
trehalose,
Proclin300,
methanol,
sodium chloride and
HEPES, and all the components have a synergistic effect to achieve
sample viscosity removal,
oxidation resistance,
corrosion prevention,
cell protection and pH stabilization. The preserving fluid is suitable for morphological observation and
nucleic acid detection of BALF cells, and can stably preserve samples at
room temperature and maintain completeness of
cell membranes and clear morphological structure. The kit comprises two preparations which are mixed to form a working solution, and the working solution can be directly used for sample preservation on a sampling site. The cytological test method comprises the steps of
sample collection, preservation, centrifugal slide preparation, Wright-Giemsa
staining and
microscopic observation. Experimental results show that
preservation solutions of different formulas are compatible with a
chromosome system, the
cell morphology is kept stable within 3 days, the
dyeing effect is good, and it is proved that the preservation
system can remarkably improve the preservation stability and detection reliability of BALF samples and is suitable for
cytology and molecular diagnosis application of lower respiratory diseases.
