If the sample contains enough material, after smears and cytospins have been made for immediate evaluation, the method of choice is to spin down the rest into a cell button which is fixed in 10% formalin (formal saline or phosphate-buffered formalin) followed by dehydration through graded alcohols and paraffin embedding for sectioning. MeSH The dry-mount technique is the method of choice for the identification of cells and bacteria. If desired, a dry mount can be prepared by using 1drop of the 10% urine sediment according to the blood push film technique (see blood smear preparation at eclinpath.com/hematology/instructional-videos), line preparation method (see line preparation at eclinpath.com/cytology/effusions-2/line-smear-compilation-copy), or the ribbing method (FIGURE 1). Rehydrated air-dried Pap smears as an alternative to wet-fixed smears. This method is simple, practical and good for cytological screening for tumour cells and interpretation especially in a bloody smear.

The dry nature of the preparation allows for use of higher magnification oil objectives and creates a stable sample for analysis, including shipment to a reference laboratory if desired.
