True or False: Liquid-based cytology vials are sent to the Chemistry department for testing.

Liquid-based cytology vials are not typically sent to the Chemistry department for testing; instead, they are primarily intended for histological examination or cytopathology. These vials contain cell samples that are processed to examine cellular characteristics and diagnose various conditions, including cancer. The processing of these samples is usually handled in specialized cytology labs rather than in the Chemistry department, which focuses on biochemical analyses such as assays for substances in bodily fluids.

Sending these samples to the Chemistry department would not align with standard laboratory procedures, where each department has distinct functions and areas of expertise. Cytology is specifically aimed at examining cells, while Chemistry assesses biochemical components. Therefore, the assertion that liquid-based cytology vials are sent to the Chemistry department for testing is false.
