CONTENTS OF THE KIT:

Collecting the Specimen:

1. Start up by adding 300 μl (about 6 drops) of buffer A to the given mixing tube, by squeezing the drops through the tip of the buffer bottle (not using the micro pipette). Then use a swab to collect a specimen from your body in the following suggested methods:

a) For male patient: Insert the swab into the urethra of the penis. Gently rotate with sufficient pressure to dislodge the epithelial cells. Allow the swab to remain inserted for a few seconds after rotation. Carefully remove the swab avoiding contact with any external surfaces

b) For female patient: Use swab number 1 to remove any discharges from the vaginal opening. Then insert swab number 2 into the vagina for half a minute and retrieve swab. Carefully remove the swab, avoiding contact with any external surfaces.
