In the last 18 months I have moved from taking a smear with an Ayelsbury spatula to the use of liquid based cytology and taking a smear with the cervical brush. This new method has clearly meant some changes at the lab, they now get a bottle of cells rather than a slide with preservative on it. beyond this the new process was a mystery to me.
The BMJ has come to my rescue and explained how automated the new process has become. Reassuringly it seems that the new technique is at least as sensitive as the old one.
