Rehydration of Air-Dried Smears versus Wet Fixation: A Cross-Sectional Study. We have immunostained samples prepared like this from an African country after 6 years storage in PreservCyt at room temperature and obtained the same results as when they were first received. One of the two wet-fixed smears was processed as a control of preservation of nuclear detail whereas the other one stayed air-dried for 10 minutes and then covered with normal saline (rehydration method) for 80 seconds before wet fixation. Dry- and wet-mount preparations are complementary techniques for evaluating urine sediment. FOIA Air-drying artifact was more frequent in AD smears compared to those of WF (p = 0.036) but was of only mild degree in all cases. Cases of eosinophilic cystitis, urinary tract lymphoma, Creating a dry-mount preparation to further identify crystals is usually not helpful unless performed to, Screening for underlying infection in urine wet-mount preparations can occasionally be challenging when microbes are present in low numbers or because of Brownian motion. The slides should be fixed immediately in the fixative solution, as even a slightest air drying of the smear can alter cytomorphological features causing diagnostic problems. <> At times, staining a wet-mounted urine preparation by using a urine sediment stain can improve visibility. 2008;130:43443.

Preparation and fixation of samples | Eurocytology Objective: These organisms should not be present in urine samples and are almost exclusively found in gastrointestinal contents; thus, dry-mount staining will enable identification of probable fecal contamination. Two different fixations are used in FNA cytology: wet fixation by ethanol and air-dried fixation. Bacteria can be confirmed and morphology more accurately assessed by using an oil objective at a higher magnification (e.g., 100 objective) than that used for a traditional 40 objective wet-mount examination.

Comparison of wet-mount, Wright-Giemsa and Gram-stained urine sediment for predicting bacteriuria in dogs and cats. In veterinary practice, urine sediment is commonly evaluated as part of a complete urinalysis performed as routine screening for urinary tract and systemic disease. and transmitted securely. Dry-mount examination cannot replace wet-mount examination for quantifying cellular constituents, but staining a dry-mount preparation substantially improves qualitative and morphologic assessment of bacteria, To further concentrate the sample and increase cellular yield for viewing, an additional centrifuge step may also. Samples with active sediment (inflammatory cells, bacteria, fungal elements, or erythrocytes), Patients with clinical suspicion of urinary tract neoplasia, Samples with abundant mucus or crystals as other elements may be hidden by these materials (e.g., leukocytes trapped in mucus, numerous amorphous crystals preventing visualization of bacteria).
