Please note: For clients performing their own cytology (pap testing), who choose to send HPV mRNA testing to Quest Diagnostics, the preferred specimen requirement steps should be adhered to. 1.) Collect cervical specimens in ThinPrep PAP Test vials containing PreservCyt Solution with broom-type or cytobrush/spatula collection devices according to the manufacturer's instructions. 2.) Alternatively, 1 mL PreserCyt can be aliquoted pre-cytology or post-cytology. Specimen requirements: (Preferred): ThinPrep vial with a minimum of 1.5 ml PreservCyt fluid remaining after cytology is performed, or transfer 1 mL of PreservCyt fluid into APTIMA specimen transfer tube (green label) before or after liquid based cytology testing is performed. Ship to Quest Diagnostics. (Acceptable): If the APTIMA specimen transfer tube (green label) is not available, aliquot 1 ml of PreservCyt fluid from the ThinPrep vial into the APTIMA Vaginal Collection tube (orange label), discard the swabs from the APTIMA Vaginal Collection Kit and use only the tube.
