Panels that include this biomarker

• Chlamydia/N. gonorrhoeae and T. vaginalis RNA, Qualitative, TMA 16492

  4 analytes · Urine · Fasting not stated

  Method and collection

  Method

  Transcription-Mediated Amplification (TMA)

  Preparation

  Urine: Patient should not have urinated within one hour prior to collection. Female patients should not cleanse the labial area prior to providing the specimen.

  Collection

  Vaginal swab: Follow instructions in the Aptima Multitest Collection Kit (orange label). Endocervical swab: Follow instructions in the Aptima Unisex Swab Specimen Collection Kit (white label). In females, to ensure collection of cells infected with N. gonorrhoeae/C. trachomatis, columnar epithelial cells lining the endocervix should be obtained. Excess mucus should be removed prior to sampling. Urine: Direct patient to provide a first-catch urine (a maximum of 20-30 mL of the initial urine stream) into a urine collection cup free of any preservatives. 2 mL of urine specimen must be transferred into the Aptima Specimen Transport Tube within 24 hours of collection and before being assayed. Use the tube provided in the urine specimen collection kit. The fluid (urine plus transport media) level in the urine transport tube must fall within the clear pane of the tube label.

  4 analytes · ThinPrep® vial with 20 mL PreservCyt® Solution · Fasting not stated

  Method and collection

  Method

  CYTYC ThinPrep 2000 or ThinPrep 3000 System • Target Capture • Transcription-Mediated Amplification (TMA) • Dual Kinetic Assay

  Collection

  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® 2000 or ThinPrep® 3000 System instructions. 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® 2000 System, process the ThinPrep® liquid cytology specimen in accordance with the ThinPrep® 2000 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. Transfer into APTIMA® transport media tubes contained in Specimen Transfer kits, Vaginal Swab collection kits, or Unisex Swab collection kits.
