TEST:

Xpert HPV Assay

The Xpert® HPV assay is a qualitative in vitro test for the detection of the E6/E7 region of the viral DNA genome from high risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in patient specimens. The test carries out multiplexed amplification of target DNA by real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) of 14 high risk HPV types in a single analysis. Xpert® HPV specifically identifies types HPV 16 and HPV 18/45 in two distinct detection channels, and reports 11 other high risk types (31, 33, 35, 39, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66 and 68) in a pooled result.
