Please note that all HPV and SurePath LBC samples sent to Pathlab must have an accompanying request form.
Collection of Dual Samples (both SurePath LBC and HPV Swab):
If collecting a SurePath LBC sample, we do not require an accompanying HPV swab collected.
If both samples are received, we will only be testing the LBC sample for both HPV and Cytology screening, with the Swab being discarded.
