Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a Se x ually Transmitted Infection (STI), that is e x tremely common among se x ually active adults in America. Despite how common it has become, knowledge of the virus is not well disseminated, partially due to the fact that many people who become infected by HPV will never show symptoms. What is known is that HPV is linked with several types of cancer, including cancer of the cervi x , vagina, and vulva.
Fem•Collect was developed to improve research into this STI, cancers linked to HPV, and other diseases that may be detectable from DNA or vaginal fluids collected from the Cervico-Vaginal area. By streamlining the collection process, the Fem•Collect provides a cost effective method to gather minimally invasive samples and at the same time minimizes the stress and inconvenience for the patient.
Principles of the Kit
The Fem•Collect kit uses a very soft, highly absorbent pad that is strategically placed in the vaginal canal to harvest cells / DNA and vaginal fluid that may be used as a biological specimen for downstream testing for HPV and other STIs in the research environment.
Advantages of Sample Collection Using Fem•Collect
The Fem•Collect has a number of advantages when it comes to collecting a Cervico-Vaginal specimen:
Allows for self collection, in certain settings subjects can collect in the privacy of their own home, if desired.
Soft pad material, non-abrasive, does not scrape.
Highly absorptive medium, collects a rich sample available for multiple downstream processes.
Sealed system, designed to be highly amenable to transportation.
Short collection time, 5 minutes.
