Simple sedimentation method for cytology of cerebrospinal fluid.
A simpler and more practical sedimentation method for cerebrospinal fluid cytology is described. One-tenth milliliter of cerebrospinal fluid was applied dropwise within the circle of a Reich counting slide, and after sedimentation of the cells to the glass, the fluid was removed. Slides can be stained automatically with a slide stainer. Less cell distortion was observed with the sedimentation method. This method is much simpler and less time-consuming than the original sedimentation method.
