Improve Cervical Cancer Risk Assessment
Results you can trust.
Shape the future of cervical cancer screening with BD Onclarity™ HPV Assay:
- Clinically validated to simultaneously detect 14 high-risk HPV (hr-HPV) genotypes, allowing you to focus on patients with higher risk
- Provides an individual result for HPV 31, which poses a similar risk for cervical pre-cancer and cancer as compared to HPV 181
- Individually identifies 6 hr-HPV genotypes to allow for genotype-specific HPV persistence tracking, the most important determinant of cervical cancer risk in women who test HPV-positive1-4
- The only Health Canada approved HPV assay that offers extended genotyping5,6
The BD Onclarity™ HPV assay is designed to reduce the risk of false-positive results due to lack of cross-reactivity with low-risk HPV types6
HPV assays can show cross-reactivity with other, low-risk HPV genotypes, meaning that the HPV assay would generate a positive result for a hr-HPV genotype when actually a low-risk or non-oncogenic HPV genotype was detected.7
The BD Onclarity™ HPV Assay shows low cross-reactivity as compared to the HC2 HPV Assay.8
BD Onclarity™ HPV assay is designed to minimize false-negative results by:
- Including an internal control to provide confidence that sample collection was adequate and the entire assay process functioned properly7
- In assays where there is no internal control the system would report a negative result rather than a test failure5
- Targeting the E6/E7 region of the HPV viral genome rather than the L1 region, which can undergo deletion during HPV DNA integration9
- Oncogenes E6 and E7 are required for cell transformation and these gene products are directly involved in causing cervical disease.9
- The L1 region can undergo deletion when the HPV virus integrates into the human genome leading to false-negative results.9
The BD Onclarity™ HPV Assay is designed to provide you with the detailed results you need to better support patients with higher risk of disease.11 Detects 14 hr-HPV genotypes and reports up to 9 results6
- Individual results for HPV genotypes with highest-risk for disease: 16, 18, 45, 31, 51 and 52
- Strategic grouped results for lower risk HPV genotypes: 35/39/68, 33/58 and 56/59/66
-
Extended genotyping allows for a more precise way to measure your patient’s risk for developing cervical pre-cancer and cancer vs. a pooled, high-risk assay.

Bd Onclarity™ HPV Assay is the only FDA and Health Canada approved HPV test that individually identifies HPV 31
