Re: shouldn't leave it to a coin flip




We KNOW you are a TP rep...nice try.  Anybody with any laboratory background knows that no diagnostic cells are poured off of the vials after centrifugation--the "crap" is removed--things like blood, lubricant, etc.  The solution that is used with SP is ethanol based- again, anybody with any lab background knows that this is much, much more gentle to the cells than a methanol based solution (TP) and does not promoted "clumping" or "drying" of cells like the TP solution does.  And it's supernatent, not supernate...the supernatent carries the "crap" out of the sample--it carries the lubricant, blood, epithelial cells, etc. which are removed so the slide can be prepared with all of the cells the pathologists want to see. 

Even a TP rep should know that TP has the highest unsatisfactory rate on the market and your own package insert states TP is equivalent to a conventional pap. 

When will you just quit?

Don't even get me started on that crap imaging system....

10.7% false negative rate?????????????  so 10.7% of those patients think they are free and clear, but in all reality they have abnormal cellular development???

And a 25.3% false positive rate? Holy crap! 1/4 of patients think they have an abnormal pap????

Bottom line is TP is a thing of the past....kind of like the dial up internet.
