Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a cause of many cancers in the anogenital and
oropharyngeal areas in women and men. The high mortality rate cervical cancer could be
reduced through a comprehensive approach that includes prevention, early diagnosis, effec
tive screening and treatment programs.
Our HPV collection kit is to collect cervical specimen for early detection & cervical cancer
screening, including TCT test, Pap smear test, or DNA-based PCR assay. It can be collected
by professionals or self collection at home for privacy.
Cervical Cancer Screening
Principle: Persistent HPV infection is the main cause of cervical cancer. By collecting cell samples from the cervical area and detecting the presence of HPV virus and its types, potential risks of precancerous lesions of the cervix can be identified in a timely manner.
Operation: Medical staff use tools such as sampling brushes in the HPV collection kit to rotate and collect cell samples at the cervical os. Then, the sampling brush is placed in the preservation solution and sent to the laboratory for tests, such as HPV DNA testing and HPV RNA testing, to determine whether HPV is infected and the specific types.
Assessment before HPV Vaccination
Principle: Understanding whether an individual has been infected with HPV and the types of infection is of great guiding significance for determining the suitability of HPV vaccination and choosing the appropriate vaccine type.
Operation: Before receiving the HPV vaccine, samples are collected using the HPV collection kit for testing. If the test result shows no HPV infection, vaccination can play a good preventive role. If a certain type of HPV has been infected, decisions can be made according to the specific situation, such as whether to receive a vaccine covering other types, or to wait until the virus is cleared before vaccination.
Detection of HPV Infection in Men
Principle: Men can also be infected with HPV, which may lead to diseases such as penile cancer and anal cancer. At the same time, men are important sources of HPV transmission. Detecting HPV in men helps prevent and control the spread of HPV.
Operation: Sampling swabs in the HPV collection kit can be used to collect exfoliated cells from areas such as the penis, glans penis, coronal sulcus, and anus of men. The samples are placed in the preservation solution and sent for testing to detect whether HPV is infected and the specific types.
Epidemiological Research
Principle: By using the HPV collection kit on a large scale to collect samples from people in different regions and age groups, and analyzing the infection rate and type distribution of HPV, the epidemic patterns and trends of HPV in the population can be understood.
Operation: Researchers collect samples from specific populations using the collection kit according to unified standards and methods. Then, a large number of samples are tested and analyzed for data, providing a basis for formulating HPV prevention and control strategies and measures.
Monitoring of Treatment Efficacy
Principle: For patients who have been diagnosed with HPV infection and are receiving treatment, regularly collecting samples to detect changes in HPV can evaluate the treatment effect and determine whether the virus has been cleared or if the disease has recurred.
Operation: At different time points after the patient’s treatment, samples are collected from the corresponding sites using the HPV collection kit for testing. The results are compared with those before treatment. If the HPV test result changes from positive to negative, it indicates that the treatment is effective. If it remains positive or turns positive again, the treatment plan may need to be adjusted.
