Long-term stability of human genomic and human papillomavirus DNA stored in BD SurePath and Hologic PreservCyt liquid-based cytology media.

چکیده
We evaluated the effect of storage at 2 to 8°C on the stability of human genomic and human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA stored in BD SurePath and Hologic PreservCyt liquid-based cytology media. DNA retained the ability to be extracted and PCR amplified for more than 2.5 years in both medium types. Prior inability to detect DNA in archived specimens may have been due to failure of the extraction method to isolate DNA from fixed cells.

A comparison of different human papillomavirus tests in PreservCyt versus SurePath in a referral population—PREDICTORS 4
BACKGROUND Two transport media, PreservCyt and SurePath, are widely used for cervical cytology screening. There are concerns that they may perform differently for HPV testing. OBJECTIVES A comparison of the performance of six different HPV tests in SurePath and PreservCyt in a referral population using two samples from each woman. The primary goal was to compare the performance of each test i...

OBJECTIVE Glucyte liquid-based cytology (LBC; BestPrep™;CellSolutions, LLC, Greensboro, N.C., USA) is a recently developed method. Its performance was assessed in comparison with ThinPrep (Hologic Inc., Marlborough, Mass., USA) and SurePath (BD Diagnostics, Burlington, N.C., USA) LBC platforms. STUDY DESIGN Two cervical samples obtained from each of 331 patients presenting for colposcopy were...
متن کاملCytology of the Uter Ine Cervix and Corpus
Cervical cytology is a screening tool that helps to categorize patients for their risk of cervical neoplasm depending on the degree of shift from normal cervical cytology and the amount of the abnormal change seen. Since the cervix is subject to hormonal effects, the clinical context (exogenous estrogens, pregnancy, etc.) should be considered when evaluating cervical cytology specimens. The fir...
متن کاملApplication of Chromogenic In Situ Hybridization (CISH) for Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Genotyping
Obvious decreasing in cervical cancer mortality has been observed in countries with organized cervical cancer screening programs [1]. Liquid based cytology is a technique that enables cells to be suspended in liquid medium and spread in monolayer for better morphological assessment. It includes the preparation and evaluation of cells collected in liquid fixative. It is being introduced to impro...
متن کاملEvaluation of the FTA carrier device for human papillomavirus testing in developing countries.
Liquid-based methods for the collection, transportation, and storage of cervical cells are cumbersome and expensive and involve laborious DNA extraction. An FTA cartridge is a solid carrier device, easier to handle and allowing simple DNA elution for human papillomavirus (HPV) testing. HPV-DNA results from cervical specimens collected in PreservCyt medium (Hologic, Inc.) and the indicating FTA ...
