Women can collect a sample from the upper part of the vagina themselves in a clinic or at home. Healthcare providers can use visual aids (e.g., wall charts, posters, flyers, models, or animated videos) to demonstrate these steps to women. In many cases, a self-collection kit (containing the sampling device, a tube with sample transport media, and an application form) is mailed to the woman. The kit also includes a flyer that describes the self-collection process step-by-step. The flyer may contain links to websites that contain more information.
The Cervi-Collect Sample Collection Kit contains a transport tube and cervical brush. The transport tube contains 2.5 mL of Sample Transport Buffer to stabilize DNA until sample preparation is complete.
