Test Kit Information

DNA Genotek OraCollect DX (OCD-100) Oral Fluid Collection Kit

The DNA Genotek OraCollect® Dx (OCD-100) is a non-invasive oral fluid collection kit designed to collect DNA samples from the inside of the mouth. A soft sponge gently collects cells from the gums, and the sample is preserved in a specialized collection tube for transport to the laboratory. This kit is commonly used for genetic testing, molecular diagnostics, and other DNA-based laboratory analyses. It is easy to use, comfortable for patients, and does not require a blood draw.

Common Uses

Genetic testing
DNA analysis
Molecular diagnostic testing
Physician-ordered specialty laboratory testing

Sample Type

Oral fluid (cheek/gum cells)

Labcorp Salivary Hormone Collection Kit

The Labcorp Salivary Hormone Collection Kit is designed to collect saliva samples for hormone testing. Saliva testing provides a simple, non-invasive way to measure certain hormones, helping healthcare providers evaluate hormone levels and monitor endocrine health. Depending on the test ordered, one or more saliva samples may be collected at specific times throughout the day and returned to the laboratory for analysis.

Common Uses

Hormone level evaluation
Cortisol testing
Endocrine function assessment
Physician-ordered hormone monitoring

Sample Type

Saliva

Note: Follow your healthcare provider's instructions carefully, as some hormone tests require samples to be collected at specific times of the day for accurate results.

Trasylol Collection Kit (6-Test Kit)

The Trasylol® Collection Kit (6-Test Kit) is a specialized specimen collection kit used to collect and transport blood samples for laboratory testing that requires the addition of Trasylol® (aprotinin), a preservative that helps maintain the stability of certain proteins and hormones. These kits are typically used for specialized endocrine and peptide hormone testing and must be handled according to the collection instructions provided by the ordering healthcare provider.

Common Uses

Specialized endocrine testing
Peptide hormone testing
Physician-ordered specialty laboratory testing
Tests requiring preserved blood specimens

Sample Type

Blood

Note: This kit is intended for specific laboratory tests that require Trasylol® for specimen preservation. Please follow all collection and handling instructions provided with the kit or by your healthcare provider to ensure accurate test results.

MaterniT® Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening (NIPS/NIPT) Collection Kit

The MaterniT® Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening (NIPS/NIPT) Collection Kit is used to collect a maternal blood sample for prenatal genetic screening during pregnancy. The test analyzes small fragments of fetal DNA circulating in the mother's bloodstream to screen for certain chromosomal conditions. It is a safe, non-invasive screening option that requires only a standard blood draw and poses no risk to the pregnancy.

Common Uses

Screening for chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Trisomy 18, and Trisomy 13
Fetal sex determination (when ordered by the healthcare provider)
Screening for select sex chromosome abnormalities
Additional genetic screening options may be available depending on the test ordered

Sample Type

Blood

Note: MaterniT® is a screening test, not a diagnostic test. Results should always be reviewed with your healthcare provider, who may recommend additional testing if needed.

Labcorp Specimen Collection Kit

The Labcorp Specimen Collection Kit is a general-purpose collection kit used to safely collect, package, and transport patient specimens to a Labcorp laboratory for testing. Depending on the physician's order, the kit may contain collection tubes, containers, instructions, and shipping materials required for a specific laboratory test. These kits are commonly used for specialty testing that requires samples to be sent directly to Labcorp.

Common Uses

Physician-ordered specialty laboratory testing
Blood specimen collection
Urine or other specimen collection (depending on the kit)
Secure packaging and transportation of laboratory samples

Sample Type

Varies by the test ordered (blood, urine, saliva, or other specimen types)

Note: The contents of each Labcorp Specimen Collection Kit may vary depending on the specific test ordered. Always follow the collection instructions provided by your healthcare provider or included with the kit.

MaterniT + Inheritst Combined Prenatal Testing Kit

The MaterniT® + Inheritest® Combined Prenatal Testing Kit is a comprehensive prenatal screening kit that combines non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS/NIPT) with carrier screening in a single blood collection. MaterniT® analyzes cell-free fetal DNA in the mother's blood to screen for certain chromosomal conditions, while Inheritest® evaluates whether prospective or expectant parents are carriers for selected inherited genetic disorders. Together, these tests provide valuable information to help guide prenatal care and genetic counseling.

Common Uses

Non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS/NIPT)
Screening for chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Trisomy 18, and Trisomy 13
Carrier screening for inherited genetic disorders
Physician-ordered prenatal genetic testing

Sample Type

Blood

Note: MaterniT® and Inheritest® are screening tests and do not diagnose genetic conditions. Results should be reviewed with your healthcare provider or a genetic counselor, who may recommend additional diagnostic testing if needed.

NMS Collection Kit

The NMS Labs Collection Kit is a specialty specimen collection kit used to collect, package, and transport patient samples for testing at NMS Labs. These kits are commonly used for specialized laboratory testing, including toxicology, forensic, clinical, and other physician-ordered analyses. The kit contains the materials needed to help ensure specimens are collected and shipped safely while maintaining sample integrity.

Common Uses

Specialty laboratory testing
Toxicology testing
Clinical laboratory testing
Physician-ordered diagnostic testing

Sample Type

Varies by the test ordered (blood, urine, oral fluid, or other specimen types)

Note: The contents and collection requirements of each NMS Labs Collection Kit may vary depending on the specific test ordered. Please follow the instructions provided with the kit or by your healthcare provider to ensure accurate results.
