Preferred Specimen
ThinPrep® pap in PreservCyt® Solution (See Instructions)
Instructions
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.
If the ThinPrep® Aliquot Removal procedure will be used prior to cytology processing, refer to the ThinPrep System instructions for use on aliquot removal. Transfer 1 mL of the removed aliquot into an APTIMA® Specimen Transfer tube according to the instructions in the APTIMA® Specimen Transfer Kit package insert.
If testing the specimen after cytology processing using the ThinPrep System, process the ThinPrep® liquid cytology specimen in accordance with the ThinPrep System instructions for use and the APTIMA® Specimen Transfer Kit package insert. Transfer 1 mL of the fluid remaining in the ThinPrep® Pap test vial into an APTIMA® Specimen Transfer tube according to the instructions in the APTIMA® Specimen Transfer Kit package insert.
Specimens should be transferred to an APTIMA® Specimen Transfer tube within 30 days of collection if stored at room temperature (see section 3.2).
ThinPrep PreservCyt® Solution Vials: 1 mL of PreservCyt® Solution specimen must be transferred into 2.9 mL of APTIMA® specimen transport media.
