An HPV sample collection kit contains a spatula, cyto-brush, and tube of sterile saline. A doctor uses the spatula to scrape cervical tissue and aid collection with the cyto-brush, which is rotated in the endometrial canal to collect a sample. The cyto-brush is then cut off into the saline tube and transported to the lab at 2-8 degrees Celsius for HPV DNA PCR testing.
