Aptima HPV 16 18/45 Genotype Assay

The Aptima HPV 16 18/45 genotype assay is an in vitro nucleic acid amplification test for the qualitative detection of E6/E7 viral messenger RNA (mRNA) of human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16, 18, and 45 in cervical specimens from women with Aptima HPV assay positive results. The Aptima HPV 16 18/45 genotype assay can differentiate HPV 16 from HPV 18 and/or HPV 45, but does not differentiate between HPV 18 and HPV 45. Cervical specimens in ThinPrep Pap Test vials containing PreservCyt Solution and collected with broom-type or cytobrush/spatula collection devices* may be tested with the Aptima HPV 16 18/45 genotype assay. The assay is used with the Tigris DTS System or the Panther System.
