Analites

14 high risk HPV genotypes (HPV16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66 e 68)

Specimen

Cervical swabs (PreservCyt Thin Prep®); vaginal swabs (also self-collected)

Description

HPV Selfy HR is a kit for the identification and genotyping of 14 high oncogenic risk genotypes of the Human Papillomavirus by Real time PCR, which can also be used
as a primary screening test to identify patients with an increased risk of developing cervical cancer or the presence of a high-grade disease, both on DNA extracted from liquid cytology samples and on self-collected vaginal mucus samples.

Features and advantages

HPV Selfy allows to detect, in a single reaction, the 14 most common high-risk HPVs (HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68 ) with immediate genotyping; therefore it also allows to detect co-infections. The test was validated according to international guidelines (Meijer et al., 2009) for the validation of HPV DNA tests usable in primary screening for cervical cancer. HPV Selfy is among the few tests with intended use also for self-sampling: it has in fact been clinically validated for self-collected vaginal swab samples, also as a primary screening test, following the indications of the international VALHUDES protocol. Furthermore, to date it is the only screening test validated also for self-sampling capable of genotyping high-risk HPVs in the same reaction. The analysis of samples using the HPV Selfy assay can be performed either following a DNA extraction, or in combination with Ulisse Faster DNA (UBM0014) which allows use without extraction. HPV Selfy does not contain materials of animal or human origin.

Content

Includes ready-to-use reagents for amplification, internal endogenous control (beta-globin) and positive control.
