Cytospin Centrifuge in Differential Counts of Milk Somatic Cells
Journal of Dairy Science, 1982 A procedure was developed for a cytospin centrifuge to concentrate cells from milk onto microscope slides in a circle with 6 mm diameter. Differential somatic cell counts with cytospin were compared to the conventional hand smearing technique to ascertain variation in differential counts.

Regulation of neutrophil senescence by microRNAs [PDF]
, 2011 Neutrophils are rapidly recruited to sites of tissue injury or infection, where they protect against invading pathogens. Neutrophil functions are limited by a process of neutrophil senescence, which renders the cells unable to respond to chemoattractants,
