Stability of Cervical Specimens in SurePath Medium for Human Papillomavirus Testing with the Roche cobas 4800 Assay

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.
