INFINITI HPV Genotyping Assay
-
The INFINITI HPV Genotyping Assay is CE Marked.
-
The INFINITI HPV Genotyping is designed to detect 26 human papillomaviruses.
-
The INFINITI HPV Genotyping utilizes the HPV Genotyping Intellipac, HPV Genotyping Amp Mix and HPV Genotyping BioFilmChip Microarray.
-
The INFINITI HPV Genotyping Assay can be automated by the INFINITI Analyzer.
Analytes Detected:
HPV types: 16, 18, 26, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, 66, 67, 68, 69, 73, 82, 6, 11, 30, 34, 70, 85
Features:
- Multiplexed determination of 26 human papillomaviruses with a single sample.
-
Customized reports
-
Load & Go automated on the INFINITI/INFINITI PLUS Analyzer.
-
Replicate determinations on a single BioFilmChip Microarray ensures quality results.
Sample Type and Volume:
- Uses endocervical and cervical specimens.
- Requires 50 ng DNA / reaction.
Clinical Relevance:
- Over 100 HPV types have been identified.
- 14 genotypes are considered High-Risk (HR) for their strong association with cervical cancer.
- The absolute risk of developing a cellular abnormality after High-Risk HPV infection varies across ethnicities.
Clinical Utility:
- Genotyping offers superior Sensitivity and Specificity over that of conventional screening.
- Type 16 & 18 behave differently than other HR types.
- Discrimination between persistent and new infection requires knowledge of genotype.
- Following persistent type specific infections is a central part of management.
- HPV DNA testing should be used as a follow up test for:
- Women with ASCUS/LSIL pap
- Women with CIN1 or negative colposcopy but prior ASC-US or LSIL
- After treatment for CIN2 and CIN3
- Co-testing of HPV DNA along with cytology for women over 30 is recommended.
