What are the advantages of LBC (liquid based psychology)?
•Simplifies the collection process for the smear taker
•Reduces inadequate rate
• Improves cellular preservation
•All the collected cells are transferred to the vial
•Quicker for the laboratory to screen and report as the area to be screened is smaller and circular.
•Multiple slides can be produced allowing further testing or for teaching and Quality Assurance purposes
• Residual material in the vial could be made available for associated tests e.g. HPV assay
• Facilitates Computer Assisted Screening which may also be available in the future
•Enhances screening processes by improving and standardising the service to the patient.
