[Histonet] HPV Typing

[Vicki Gauch]

Paula,
 We receive these requests also.  We send them out to Lab Corp, RTP,
North Carolina.  Our specimens come in formalin and we process them for
routine histology and then cut unstained slides for the HPV testing.
Hope that helps,
 Vicki

Hello,

Could someone please advise us on HPV typing.

We received a request for HPV typing on tissue sent to us fixed in 10%
NBF
and our questions are:
can it be done on formalin fixed tissue, what is the procedure
(stain?), is
it sent out to what entity (a genzyme, a Unilab)?

Thanks,
Paula
Bio-Path Medical Group
