Products of conception (POC) collection and shipping instructions

Kits

Sample

POC samples should be placed in a cup, covered completely with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and sealed with parafilm. Only fresh tissue is accepted.

Labeling

Cups must be labeled with the individual’s name and date of birth, which must match the name and date of birth on the test order. Unlabeled or mislabeled samples will not be accepted.

Storage

POC samples should be shipped immediately after being collected, with a cold pack. If immediate shipping is not possible, POC samples may be refrigerated. POC samples should never be frozen.

Every prenatal kit includes a pre-paid FedEx return label to Variantyx. For any questions about returning a sample, please contact our Clinical Coordination team directly at 617-209-2090.
