Abstract:
The stability of cervical specimens in SurePath preservative fluid for human papillomavirus (HPV) testing with Roche cobas 4800 was determined using a panel of 308 pooled specimens from a colposcopy referral population. The SurePath specimens appeared to be stable for up to 10 weeks at ambient temperature for HPV testing with cobas 4800.
