QIAsymphony DSP HPV Media Kit

The QIAsymphony DSP HPV Media Kit, in combination with the QIAsymphony SP, provides sample extracts that are ready for automated testing using the digene HC2 High-Risk HPV DNA Test with the Rapid Capture System. This kit uses QIAsymphony magnetic particle technology for automated isolation of human cervical cells stored in liquid-based cytology (LBC) media.

QIAsymphony DSP HPV Media technology combines the speed and efficiency of pH-driven anion exchange chromatography with the convenient handling of magnetic particles. Ready-to-run reagent cartridges are prefilled with all the reagents required for the sample preparation procedure and are automatically opened by the QIAsymphony SP ( Schematic of QIAsymphony SP principle), which helps to minimize the risk of environmental contamination.

The sample preparation procedure is designed to ensure safe and reproducible handling of potentially infectious samples, and comprises binding and recovery of sample extracts. Worktable setup is rapid, which saves valuable time. Simply check the waste drawer, load consumables, and load 2 reagent cartridges. Reagent volumes only for the selected number of samples are used, allowing complete cost control.

The QIAsymphony DSP HPV Media Kit, when automated on the QIAsymphony SP, enables the sample preparation of specimens that have been collected in liquid-based cytology media, such as PreservCyt Solution (Hologic). Sample extracts may be refrigerated to consolidate microplates for further processing.
