| HPV Genotyping 16, 18, other 12-pooled | DNA - Roche Cobas | This assay utilizes amplification of target DNA by the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and nucleic acid hybridization for the detection of 14 high-risk (HR) HPV types in a single analysis. The test specifically identifies types HPV 16 and HPV 18 while concurrently detecting the rest of the high risk types (31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 66, and 68). HPV 16, 18, other 12-pooled genotypes test are performed and reported in conjunction with HPV High Risk. |
Cervical Specimens. Acceptable specimen collection/transport containers are: |
Specimens can be shipped and stored at 2 - 30°C. If shipping temperatures exceeding 30°C are anticipated, use cool plack. Viability after transfer to collection/transport tube is: |
2-4 Days |

| HPV Genotyping 16, 18/45 | RNA - Hologic Panther | This assay is a nucleic acid amplification test for the qualitative detection of E6/E7 viral messenger RNA (mRNA) in cervical specimens from women with HPV+ results. This test can differentiate HPV 16 from HPV 18 and/or 45, but not between HPV 18 and 45. Studies show that targeting E6/E7 mRNA identifies the presence and activity of a high-risk HPV infection. |
Cervical Specimens. Acceptable specimen collection/transport containers are: |
Specimens can be shipped and stored at 2 - 30°C. If shipping temperatures exceeding 30°C are anticipated, use cool plack. Viability after transfer to collection/transport tube is: |
2 - 4 Days |
