Professional Biopsy Specimen Kits

According to the American Cancer Society, about 1.7 million new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in 2015.¹In an effort to provide the most accurate diagnosis possible and facilitate proper treatment, hospitals and specialty practices around the country are embracing routine DNA Specimen Provenance Assay (DSPA) testing on breast and prostate biopsy tissues as a standard in cancer diagnostics.

We have designed a professional Biopsy Specimen Kit for physicians who conduct routine biopsies on other tissue types. Our laboratory staff has experience with a variety of other biopsy types including: bladder, cervical, colon and endometrial. Our professional biopsy specimen kits contain the components for confirming the assigned patient and ruling out contamination errors in the diagnostic process.

Know Error Kits

The know error^® system enhances diagnostic accuracy by ruling out contamination and switching errors that can occur during the biopsy process.

Biopsy Specimen Kit

All Know Error biopsy kits contain the components necessary for DNA testing and biopsy collection.

Patient Information Card

The Patient Information Card provides the patient with answers to common questions about DNA testing.

DNA Reference Swabs

Cheek swabs are for collecting the patient’s DNA reference sample before the biopsy procedure.

Biopsy Collection Vials

Each formalin-filled collection vial is specifically bar coded for use with this kit.

Biopsy Collection

The biopsy tissue vials and the orange Part D box are sent to pathology.

Pathology Components

The Part D box contains vials for sending the tissue scrolls taken from positive for cancer biopsy specimens to Strand Diagnostics for DNA analysis.
