In order to improve the quality of routine cervical smears, we investigated the new Thinprep cytologic test (TCT) for cervical cells. In this study, 100 women who were enrolled were randomly divided into two groups. In one group, the TCT for cervical cells was applied (TCT group), and in the other group routine cervical smear was used. In addition, the cells in the TCT group were screened by double sifters, and centrifuged using a separation medium so as to eliminate mucus, inflammatory cells and blood cells. According to the cell distribution and the thickness of the smear, the results were assigned to three groups, including satisfactory smears, less satisfactory smears and unsatisfactory smears. The TCT had a higher satisfactory rate (98%) compared to the routine cervical smear (32%) (
