Schematic chart of in vitro workflow organized by sequence of tasks involved in sampling and extraction. Multiple stages of the in vitro sampling and extraction processes (types of swabs, and surfaces, sample storage prior to extraction, extraction method, and nucleic acid preservation) were tested for the optimal methods in terms of nucleic acid recovery
