title: Ultrasonic disaggregation of cell clusters.
abstract: A technique of cluster disaggregation has been developed and applied to cervical cells in suspension. Preliminary results indicate that ultrasound is capable of cluster disaggregation under controlled energy conditions. Cytologic quality of the resulting preparation is adequate for cell analysis in flow systems.
