Setting a Standard

ThinPrep® is a worldwide standard for cervical sample collection. More than 1 billion ThinPrep vials have been used globally for cervical cancer screening.1 Just one patient sample is required for both cytology and molecular testing. We offer a comprehensive cytology solution, from sample collection to diagnosis, all within a complete suite of lab automation.

Improved Disease Detection

Our liquid-based cytology (LBC) test, the ThinPrep® Pap test, performs significantly better than conventional cytology in detecting diseases. Sensitivity and specificity are higher.2 

Improved Visualisation

Moving to LBC results is a significant improvement in sample visualisation. The percentage of poor cell quality samples is decreased and sensitivity for the diagnosis of high-grade lesions is improved.2

Multiple Results From One Sample

Our cervical health solution enables clinicians to integrate cytological and virological (including HPV) results without the need to duplicate sampling and medical visits. This delivers greater efficiencies and the possibility of earlier detection.
