  • Title: Vaginal swabs are the optimal specimen for detection of genital Chlamydia trachomatis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae using the Cobas 4800 CT/NG test.
    Author: Van Der Pol B, Taylor SN, Liesenfeld O, Williams JA, Hook EW.
    Journal: Sex Transm Dis; 2013 Mar; 40(3):247-50. PubMed ID: 23407470.
    Abstract:
    Performance characteristics of the Cobas 4800 CT/NG assay were estimated for vaginal swab samples from more than 4000 women. Vaginal samples identified 92.9% and 98.5% of Chlamydia and Gonorrhea infections, respectively, which was more than any other single specimen type (endocervical swabs or urine) regardless of collection method (clinician collected or self-obtained).
