Human β-actin mRNA CT values in FinSwab and FLOQSwab from the first part of the studya
| Transport tube | FinSwab, mean CT (SD) | FLOQSwab, mean CT (SD) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dry (n = 48) | 20.5 (2.93) | 20.0 (2.99) | 0.306 |
| Viral transport medium (n = 28) | 22.0 (2.35) | 23.0 (2.60) | 0.080 |
| Total (n = 76) | 21.0 (2.81) | 21.1 (3.20) | 0.860 |
Swabs in the dry tubes were suspended in 1 ml PBS, whereas the volume of viral transport medium was 3 ml. FLOQSwabs were collected first.
