Abstract: A cell analyzer which automatically processes and evaluates cell samples for possible indications of malignancy and other abnormalities is disclosed. Cell samples are prepared in a suspension and are tagged with an appropriate radioactive stain or appropriate biochemical. Counting, filtering and drying steps under computer control are followed by the taking of a radioactive count with respect to a normalized number of cells. The results of the radioactive counting determine whether the particular sample is classified as "positive" or "negative".
