LucentMed offers a safe, high-quality, and highly efficient Cervical Cell Collector designed for cervical cancer screening and gynecological diagnostics.
Suitable for use in gynecological examinations and large-scale cervical cancer screening programs across all levels of healthcare facilities, the product features individually sealed, sterile packaging to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination.
Medical Principle: Over 90% of cervical cancers and precancerous lesions (CIN) originate in the transformation zone of the cervix.
Collection Function: The collector's unique broom-like brush head simultaneously contacts both the endocervical canal and the ectocervix, fully harvesting both squamous and columnar epithelial cells for TCT or conventional Pap smear analysis.
Medical Principle: HPV is the primary cause of cervical cancer and primarily resides within the host's epithelial cells.
Collection Function: The collector uses flexible bristles to scrape epithelial cells, which are then released into a preservation solution; the sample is subsequently used for laboratory molecular amplification techniques (such as PCR) to accurately detect HPV infection and identify specific genotypes.
Medical Principle: The cervix and vagina exist in a consistently warm, moist environment, making them susceptible to invasion by specific microorganisms.
Collection Function: The sterile collector can reach specific depths to precisely sample secretions or mucosal surfaces, facilitating laboratory culture and drug susceptibility testing for pathogens such as Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Traditional cotton swabs are absorbent; a large number of cells become trapped within the cotton fibers and cannot be released, resulting in a high retention rate.
Professional collectors utilize medical-grade, hydrophobic bristles. When agitated in the preservation solution, they can fully release over 95% of the captured cells into the liquid, significantly reducing the rate of missed diagnoses.
The tips of the bristles undergo laser rounding at a microscopic level; this ensures sufficient mechanical friction to dislodge cells while remaining gentle enough to avoid puncturing submucosal capillaries.
If the sample contains an excess of red blood cells (causing bleeding), the test slide becomes heavily obscured, interfering with diagnosis by AI or pathologists.

LucentMed offers a cervical cell collector specifically designed for ThinPrep Cytology Test (TCT) / Liquid-Based Cytology (LBC).
Features: High cell release rate; samples are processed in a preservation solution; compatible with systems such as ThinPrep and SurePath.
We also provide sampling brushes designed for conventional Pap smear examinations.
Features: Focuses on uniform cell distribution; samples are smeared directly onto a microscope slide rather than being placed in a preservation solution system.
Strictly verify that the patient's basic information, the requisition form, and the barcode labels on the cell preservation solution vial (TCT/HPV) match exactly.
Place the patient in the lithotomy position with legs supported on stirrups; ensure proper draping and privacy protection.
The clinician washes hands and dons sterile gloves, then gently inserts a medical speculum to fully expose the cervical os and the transformation zone.
Remove the Cervical Cell Collector from its sterile packaging, ensuring the brush head is not touched by hand.
Align the longer central bristles with the cervical canal and insert them into it, while positioning the shorter peripheral bristles against the external cervical os.
Gently apply moderate axial pressure toward the cervix; the bristles will fan out and curve slightly to conform to the cervical contour.
Rotate steadily in a clockwise direction for 3 to 5 full turns; do not use a back-and-forth sawing or scraping motion.
After rotation, maintain axial alignment and gently withdraw the collector vertically, avoiding contact with the vaginal walls.
After removal, immediately immerse the brush head in the vial containing the cell preservation solution (within 10 seconds) to prevent the cells from drying out or deforming upon exposure to air.
Press the brush head firmly against the inner wall of the vial and rapidly agitate/swirl it 10–15 times; leverage the hydrophobic properties of the bristles to fully dislodge and release the adherent exfoliated cells into the solution.
Align the pre-scored break point on the brush handle with the rim of the vial opening and apply lateral pressure to snap it off, leaving the brush head inside the vial.
Discard the remaining handle and immediately screw the cap tightly onto the preservation solution vial. Invert and shake the bottle 3–5 times to thoroughly mix and fix the cells with the preservation solution.
A: Traditional stiff-bristled brushes often require vigorous scraping to collect cells; however, LucentMed utilizes highly absorbent, imported soft flocked material, allowing for cell collection with just gentle contact.
The bristles offer optimal softness, effectively protecting cervical tissue and preventing unnecessary bleeding or injury.
A: Absolutely. HPV testing has specific requirements regarding total DNA quantity.
Our product's high collection efficiency ensures that the number of cells adhering to the brush head far exceeds the minimum threshold for HPV testing, providing an ample cell count within the collection vial.
A: No. In fact, the high collection efficiency actually reduces the need for demanding or complex manipulation techniques.
