• Given the known changes in cytodiagnostics and the fact that the number of cervical samples will be reduced in the future, but also for the future of cytotechnology as a whole, it is necessary to keep cytotechnologists in cytology laboratories by giving them „new” – „old” jobs.

Differential blood smear
• Despite automation and new technologies, peripheral blood smear still remains finding of great importance in establishing an accurate diagnosis.
• Opposite results obtained by automatic counter - Cytomorphological analysis of blood cells includes morphology and representation (percentage) of each type of leukocytes, erythrocytes and thrombocytes. It helps detect and classify immature or abnormal leukocytes or any other abnormalities that are present, giving us very accurate and useful information to diagnose the specific cause of the disease as well as in monitoring the success of treatment of hematological patients.

• Smears are prepared from capillary blood from the fingertip by cytotechnologists, which can provide high-quality slides for microscopy.
• It is extremely important to make technically correct smear which should be neither dense nor overstretched and cover two-thirds of the base slide length because it significantly affects the morphology and the accuracy of the findings.
• After preparation we mark the smears with pencil on the frosted end, air dry and stain by May-Grünwald-Giemsa staining method.

• With proper training and education in the field of non-gynecological cytotechnology and with its unique competence in morphology and laboratory technologies, Cytotechnologists are the most competent choice for making findings of peripheral blood smear.
• Findings made and analyzed by educated personnel – cytotechnologists and proper interpretation, will certainly contribute to accuracy of diagnosis.
