The liquid-based Pap test, approved in 1996, in which cells go into a vial of fluid rather than straight onto a slide; its preservative is the collection medium named in the FDA approvals of several HPV tests.
The ThinPrep 2000 processor (Hologic, PMA P950039) was approved by the FDA on 20 May 1996 under the product code for automated cervical cytology slide processors. The ThinPrep PreservCyt solution it uses is the collection medium named in the FDA approvals of the cobas, Aptima, Alinity m and BD Onclarity HPV tests and of the CINtec PLUS dual stain.
Cervical cells are placed in a preservative liquid instead of being smeared on glass; a processor prepares a thin layer of cells on a slide for a cytologist to read.
