Abstract
Process and apparatus for conditioning whole-cell-containing physiological specimens such as those comprising mucous as a thickening agent. The specimen is made homogeneous, i.e. transformed into a single-cell suspension, and reduced markedly in viscosity by repeatedly being forced or sucked into and out of a small and relatively sharp-edged conduit positioned in a sample-holding container.
