The SurePath™ LBC system uses a proprietary sample collection method and patented centrifugal sedimentation technology — the third-generation cytology testing method. It delivers automated, standardised, high-throughput slide preparation with industry-leading specimen adequacy rates and the highest FDA-certified cancer precursor detection rate compared to conventional Pap smears.
SurePath™ liquid-based cytology is the world’s most clinically validated cervical screening technology, backed by over two decades of large-scale FDA clinical evidence. Its unique sedimentation-based slide preparation preserves the three-dimensional cellular structure, producing a clear, uniform monolayer free from obscuring blood, mucus and inflammatory cells.
The PrepStain™ Slide Processor automates the entire workflow — from sample pre-treatment and cell enrichment to slide preparation and Papanicolaou staining — completing a batch of 24 slides in just 40 minutes. Each slide uses an independent reagent cartridge to eliminate cross-contamination, and the closed waste-liquid system reduces fume exposure in the laboratory.
