Clinical Virology Laboratory, Yale New Haven Hospital, Connecticut, USA.

For 275 samples tested for herpes simplex virus (HSV), cytospin-enhanced direct immunofluorescence using Chemicon HSV monoclonal antibodies identified 80 (95%) and culture identified 77 (92%) of 84 confirmed positive specimens. Cytospin-prepared slides contained a greater number of total cells than standard cell spots, resulting in fewer inadequate cell smears and a higher HSV detection rate.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002498	Centrifugation	Process of using a rotating machine to generate centrifugal force to separate substances of different densities, remove moisture, or simulate gravitational effects. It employs a large motor-driven apparatus with a long arm, at the end of which human and animal subjects, biological specimens, or equipment can be revolved and rotated at various speeds to study gravitational effects.
