Test Includes: Detection and type determination of HPV DNA sequences in exfoliated cells or tissue biopsies Special Instructions: Specimen must be submitted using HPV collection kit (supplied by LabCorp), or liquid-based cytology preservative. Specimen: Cervical brush sample in Digene DNA collection kit or liquid-based cytology preservative; cervical biopsy Volume: One brush or tissue biopsy Minimum Volume: For cells collected in liquid-based cytology preservative, at least 4 mL of preservative must be submitted for ThinPrep® specimens. For SurePath™ specimens that have been processed for a Pap, add 2 mL CytoRich™ fixative to the 0.8 mL cellular concentrate fraction. Minimum 2 mm biopsy specimen. Container: Digene DNA collection kit (contact the LabCorp local branch for collection kits); or liquid-based cytology preservative (ie, ThinPrep® vial with PreservCyt® solution or SurePath™ vial with CytoRich™ fixative) Collection: Specimen must be submitted using the Digene DNA collection kit (supplied by LabCorp) or liquid-based cytology fixative. Digene DNA collection kit: Remove excess mucus from the cervical os and surrounding ectocervix using a cotton or polyester swab. Discard this swab. To obtain specimen, insert the Digene cervical sampling brush 1 to 1.5 cm into the cervical os until the largest bristles touch the ectocervix. Do not insert the brush completely into the cervical canal. Rotate brush three full turns in a counterclockwise direction and remove from the canal. Insert the brush into the transport tube. Snap off shaft at scored line, leaving brush end inside tube, and recap securely by snapping in place. ThinPrep® Vial - use a cervical broom: Obtain a sample from the cervix using a broom-like device by inserting the brush portion into the cervical os and rotate the brush five times. Rinse the collection device in the PreservCyt® solution by pushing the brush into the bottom of the vial 10 times, forcing the bristles to bend apart to release the cervical material. As a final step, twirl the brush between the thumb and forefinger vigorously to further release cellular material. Discard the collection device. Tighten the cap on the ThinPrep® vial until the cap passes the torque line on the vial. SurePath™ Vial - use a cervical broom: Insert the broom into the cervical os and rotate five times. Place the broom head into the CytoRich™ preservative fluid in the SurePath™ collection vial. Tightly cap the vial. Tissue: Submit tissue biopsy (frozen) in an HPV collection tube. Biopsies must be shipped frozen at -20°C. To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, please submit separate frozen specimens for each test requested. Storage Instructions: Maintain liquid-based cytology specimens at room temperature. Maintain Digene HPV collection kit at room temperature for up to two weeks or refrigerated for up to three weeks. Freeze biopsy. Cervical specimens collected using the Digene DNA collection kit or SurePath™ vial must be processed for testing within 21 days of collection. Specimens in ThinPrep® vials must be processed for testing within three months of collection. LabCorp may require five days for processing.
