Vaginal Sample Collection Method
The MicroGenDX Collection kit will include 2 vaginal swabs, a bio bag, a lab requisition form and a MicroGenDX box.
Step 1: Clean the genital area with soap and water before collecting the sample.
Step 2: Twist the cap at the dotted line to break the seal. Remove the Swab completely from the tube not letting your hands touch the swab beyond the break point.
Step 3: Gently collect the specimen at the vaginal opening/center of the infected area in a circular motion starting near the center and working outwards. Roll the swab in a circular motion over as much of the surface of the vaginal area as possible. Be sure to repeat the process across the same area with the second swab.
Step 4: Place your completed MicroGenDX lab requisition form in the front pocket of the bio bag. Add BOTH swabs into the larger pocket, peel off the adhesive strip, and press to seal the bag. Place the sealed bio bag into the MicroGenDX prepaid shipping box and send out according to your facility protocol.
Alternatively: Take to the nearest FedEX drop box.
