Chorionic Villus Sampling Requirements

Prenatal kits are available by contacting our Clinical Coordination team directly at 617-209-2090.

Chorionic villus sampling specimens should be placed in a cup, covered completely with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and sealed with parafilm.

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.

Chorionic villus sampling specimens should be shipped immediately after being collected, with a cold pack. Chorionic villus sampling specimens 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.
