Prospective Collection of Female First-catch Urine, Vaginal Swab, Endocervical Swab, and Cervical Specimens for Testing With the APTIMA Trichomonas Vaginalis Assay
The objective of this study is to obtain female first-catch urine, vaginal swab,
endocervical swab, and cervical specimens collected in PreservCyt Solution ("PreservCyt
Specimens") for testing with the APTIMA Trichomonas vaginalis (ATV) Assay.
These specimens will be used to demonstrate assay performance on the PANTHER System is
comparable to performance on the TIGRIS System.
