The Mobile Rose Multifunctional Integrated Microscope was developed as a device for rapid on site evaluation(ROSE) with an internationally patented mechanism. Often, not enough cells are collected to diagnose pathological changes like tumors, as well as poor fixation or blood obscured makes diagnosis difficult.
By making cells more reliable and facilitating proper evaluation by the collector (usually a clinician) on site , it reduces the psychological and physical burden on the patients, and also by reducing the unsatisfactory rates, it contributes reducing medical costs and early start of treatments.

Our company, Yamachu Co., Ltd. was founded in 1965 as a Japanese confectionery manufacturer in Kisarazu City, Chiba Prefecture. In 1998 we shifted our business to the manufacture and sale of cosmetics, which we continue to do today. In 2020, we newly applied for a medical device manufacturing and sales business and we developed the world's first unique multifunctional integrated microscope called Mobile Rose. This opportunity to contribute to the development of the field of medicine gives us a perfect challenge based on our company's philosophy "Give & Give”. All of us at the company find it very sobering and we will continue to work hard.

Through my many years of experience as a cytologist, I have come to realize that the best way to improve the diagnostic accuracy of cytological tests is to ensure that the material collection is done properly.

In this context, Rapid On Site Evaluation (ROSE) technique has recently been attracting attention. At the same time, however; there is a lack of manpower like cytotechnologists who carry out this task. Coronavirus pandemic is now adding to that problem.

In facilities where cytotechnologists or pathologists cannot perform ROSE, needle aspiration materials are submitted for testing without knowing whether they are appropriate or not.

Despite the increase in the number of slides due to the anxiety of clinicians, the conventional method often results in cases where diagnosis is difficult due to air drying degeneration or blood obscured, which is also a major cause of concern for diagnosticians.

The MOBILE ROSE multifunctional integrated microscope is a device which LBC(Liquid-based-Cytology) method for rapid fixation and visualization of cells in a preservation solution using a view cap are both capable in a container for cell collection, and was developed as a tool to prevent improper specimens.

Although MOBILE ROSE is not a tool for rapid diagnosis, we believe that it will enable observation of cells in the specimen container, reduce inadequate rates, and lead to rapid diagnosis and early treatments.

By cutting the number of unnecessary reexaminations, it is expected to reduce the burden on patients and staff as well as contribute to reducing medical costs. We hope that this system will be used by many doctors who are in charge of the collection.

FAQ

Q
What are compatible smartphones?
We recommend using an iPhone 7 or later, or a smartphone with a camera capable of digital zoom of 10x or higher. If the size or camera position does not fit the holder, the attached gel pad can be used to remove the holder and attach it to any position.
Q
Can we perform MOBILE ROSE observation with other than MR preservation solution No.5?
The biggest obstacle to MR observation is gelatinization caused by large amounts of blood contamination. When gelatinization occurs, it becomes difficult to observe the epithelium. MR Preservation Solution No.5 is a preservation solution for Mobile Rose observation and Papanicolaou staining with anti-gelation, excellent hemolytic properties and low cell shrinkage.
For other storage solutions, please contact us individually.

Cell fluids with little blood contamination makes MR observation possible.
In this case, we recommend using a smartphone camera with a magnification of 10x or higher.
Q
Is there a special training for cell observation?
It requires basic knowledge, but does not need any special training.

If you first observe only the stored fluid without cells, you would clearly see the difference when cells are collected. In some cases, such as cyst fluid, the color of the fluid would turn green. If there were a lot of blood, it would be the color of blood.
※The purpose is for proper evaluation, benign and malignant cannot be diagnosed.
Please refer to the reference image.
