We evaluated whether prolonged storage at room and freezer temperatures affects detection of and (CT/GC) using Aptima Combo-2 assay for research studies. Three hundred specimens were spiked with CT/GC; half were stored at room temperature and half at -80°C. All specimens remained CT/GC positive for 36 months.
我们评估了在室温和冷冻温度下长时间储存是否会影响使用Aptima Combo-2检测法进行研究时对沙眼衣原体(CT)和淋病奈瑟菌(GC)的检测。三百份标本接种了CT/GC;其中一半在室温下储存,另一半在-80°C下储存。所有标本在36个月内均保持CT/GC阳性。
