Mycoplasma hominis (MH) and Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU), belonging to mycoplasmas, are implicated in genital and urinary infections. These bacteria are extremely sensitive to environmental factors but remain detectable by culture methods. This study aimed to compare performance of detection on samples performed on eSwab or dry swabs.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the best pre-analytical conditions for screening Down's syndrome using maternal serum markers in the first trimester.
- It finds that serum samples can be stored at 2–8°C for up to 72 hours with a 5% acceptable bias in marker concentration, and withstand three freeze-thaw cycles without affecting results.
- The research aims to create guidelines for handling and transporting blood samples, emphasizing the importance of maintaining sample integrity to avoid potentially serious clinical consequences.
