Collection Information
To collect an anal-rectal sample, a wetted, non-lubricated Dacron/Polyester swab is used. The Dacron/Polyester swab is inserted about 3 cm (or until resistance is met) into the anal canal past the anal verge, into the rectal vault. Afterwards, swish the swab vigorously in PreservCyt® fluid in the ThinPrep® vial. Discard the swab. Cap and tighten the ThinPrep® vial. Swab that is grossly contaminated with feces should be discarded and the collection repeated.
