  The ThinPrep® 5000Processor utilises proven ThinPrep technology for cell dispersion, collection and transfer. • The ThinPrep vial is spun creating currents that are: - Strong enough to separate debris and mucus, and randomise cells - Gentle enough to have no adverse effect on cell appearance • The ThinPrep Pap Test Filter is inserted into the sample vial • A gentle vacuum is created within the ThinPrep Pap Test Filter • Cells are collected on the exterior surface of the membrane • Cell collection is controlled by the ThinPrep 5000 Processor software that monitors the rate of flow through the ThinPrep Pap Test Filter • Following cell collection on the membrane, the ThinPrep Pap Test Filter is inverted then gently pressed against the ThinPrep Microscope slide to create a 20 mm defined circular area • Natural attraction with computer controlled mechanical positioning and positive air pressure causes the cells to adhere to the ThinPrep Microscope slide resulting in an even distribution of cells in a defined circular area Dispersion: Cell Collection: Cell Transfer: 1 2 3 Features • Chain-of-custody verification eliminates possibility for sample mix-up - Instrument matches the barcode on vial with the label on slide to ensure sample is placed on correct slide • User friendly, easy to operate • Walk away automation • Able to process between 1 and 20 samples per batch allowing flexible walk away automation • Supports processing of multiple slides per vial • Automated vial handling enables operator to simply load and leave • Batch processing may be interrupted in order to run an urgent sample Throughput: • Batch of 20 samples processed in approximately 35 minutes – Up to 35 slides per hour – 280 slides per day – 60,000 slides per year * with a single 8 hour shift
