Abstract: This invention was made to help cytopathology laboratory personnel to use mobile phone camera interchangeably in their everyday practice, when buying more than one model-specific adapter would exceed the cost of reimbursement for such a service and is making mobile-health in clinical pathology obsolete. The interchangeability is reducing the price of using mobile health by the number of applications. This invention is for a small, low-cost device that could simulate movements of a human examiner analyzing cytopathological specimens using the transmitted light microscope.

Abstract: Cervical Acid Phosphatase-Papanicolaou Test Kit (CPK) is an assembly of reagents, controls and instructions for visualization of cervical acid phosphatase on smears or monolayers of cervical specimens, and for performing the CAP-PAP Test (CPT).

Abstract: The CAP-PAP Test is a double-staining, single-slide microscopic method. An in vitro diagnostic medical device for manual and automatic staining and interpreting of the Pap smear for cervical cancer screening, cervical dysplasia and for follow-up therapy can be developed using this double-staining, single-slide microscopic method. Abnormal cervical cells are labeled with an intracellular acid phosphatase derived pigment (azo-dye) to improve visibility of abnormal cervical cells on conventionally stained Pap smears. The enzyme marker improves human perception and/or sensitivity of automatic instruments when distinguishing cell a abnormality and interpretation of Pap smears. Increased accuracy of CAP-PAP-vs-Pap test is expected to reduce false negative readings of the conventional Pap test. A rapid manual version of the test that is low cost, does not require additional personnel training and is instantly applicable in all cytopathology laboratories is provided.
