Medical - Medical (general) / Cord blood donation
Catalan term or phrase: extensió citològica
This appears in the title of a document entitled "Preparació extensió citològica" related to cord blood donations. As far as I understand, once the blood is fractionated the so-called "buffy coat" is subjected to testing by "extensió citològica" before being stored.

Does anybody know what this is exactly? "Cytological extension" doesn't seem to be a particularly common expression...

Any help is much appreciated!

cytologic smear
Explanation:
I think this use is related to "extensió de sang" which means "blood smear", i.e., taking a sample and putting it on a slide to go under a microscope.
