Quant1cyt: Karyometric Analysis of Bladder Washing for Patients with Superficial Bladder Cancer

Objectives. Quantitative cytology by image-analysis techniques enables objective interpretation of nuclear features in light microscopic images. QUANTICVT, a quantitative karyometric cytology system, was used in the follow-up of patients with superficial bladder cancer. Methods. From 1992 to 1995, 41 37 samples from 1412 patients were obtained. At 1 -year follow-up after the initial bladder was...

Aseptic technique.

This chapter describes common laboratory procedures that can reduce the risk of culture contaminations (sepsis), collectively referred as "aseptic technique." Two major strategies of aseptic work are described: using a Bunsen burner and a laminar flow hood. Both methods are presented in the form of general protocols applicable to a variety of laboratory tasks such as pipetting and dispensing al...
