Evaluation of Liquid Versus Dry Specimen Transport With a Newly Validated Isothermal Amplification High-Risk Human Papillomavirus Assay
Conclusions
Endocervical specimens transported dry have similar proportion of positive HR-HPV tests as those transported in liquid media. Dry brush transport of endocervical samples paired with the special characteristics of AmpFire HR-HPV may become an important addition to population based cervical cancer screening.
