Une étude montre la reproductibilité de la quantification et l’amélioration de la limite de détection du test adénovirus avec le Stool Preprocessing Device :

“Our results showed that the device reproducibly quantified HAdV DNA in stool samples when using different extraction and amplification systems. In addition, the performance of the Stool Preprocessing Device was not affected by the stool form as estimated with the Bristol scale. Compared to the laboratory’s routine preprocessing technique, the Stool Preprocessing Device provided a better LOD and increased slightly the detection rate of HAdV-infected samples. In the routine monitoring of patients, the Stool Preprocessing Device enables the detection of HAdV replication in the gastrointestinal tract earlier and for longer time periods.”
