Test Details
Methodology
DNA probe; in situ hybridization
Result Turnaround Time
3 - 5 days
Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.
Use
Determine HPV type; confirm HPV infection; resolve cases with equivocal histopathology
Limitations
More than 20 distinct HPV types have been isolated from the anogenital mucosa. This assay can detect the presence of six specific viral types: HPV 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, and 33.
This test was developed, and its performance characteristics determined, by LabCorp. It has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
