Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the DNA/RNA Defend Pro (DRDP) collection buffer for its ability to inactivate and stabilize patient samples, while assessing its effectiveness for extraction-free PCR and quick antigen testing.
- Out of 95 nasopharyngeal swab samples tested for various viruses, the results confirmed the presence of viral targets, showing that DRDP maintained sample stability and compatibility with testing methods including direct RT-qPCR.
- DRDP demonstrated excellent RNA stability for key viruses over a week at various temperatures, making it a reliable option for enhancing diagnostic efficiency in challenging testing environments.
