DNA Extracted from Cytologic Slides Is a Valuable Source for PCR-Based Molecular Tests

Conclusion: The mutation tests worked well for most samples except CytoRich Red Preservative-fixed slides. This study indicates that stained and unstained cytologic slides are a suitable source of PCR-based molecular tests as long as they are fixed in ethanol or stored for a short time in an air-dried condition.Acta Cytologica
