preparátumokba

Preparátum and preparátumokba are terms used in Hungarian laboratory and medical contexts to describe prepared specimens for microscopic examination. A preparátum (plural preparátumok) refers to a prepared specimen, such as a tissue section, cytology smear, or other sample that has been fixed, processed, and mounted on a microscope slide, often stained to reveal cellular or tissue structures. The phrase preparátumokba denotes the directional form “into the preparations” and appears in procedural instructions to indicate placing, applying, or introducing substances into or onto the prepared specimens or into a collection of prepared slides.

Etymology and form: The word preparátum is borrowed from Latin preparātum, meaning “prepared.” In Hungarian, the neuter noun takes the plural preparátumok, and the suffix -ba yields preparátumokba for directions into the preparations. This form is primarily found in technical or academic texts rather than everyday language.

Usage: In histology, pathology, and related fields, preparátumokba is used in sentences that describe steps such as applying staining solutions, reagents, or mounting media into the prepared specimens. For example, a protocol might specify adding a stain preparátumokba or introducing a reagent into the preparations. The term is characteristic of professional documentation and education in laboratory science.
