Experimental design for each tested VTM. Fifteen positive clinical samples were analyzed: influenza A virus (n = 5), influenza B virus (n = 5), RSV-A (n = 3) or RSV-B (n = 2). Three VTM were compared: Cepheid®, Virocult® and E swab® under several temperature storage (+4 °C and ambient temperature (TA) and delay (T0, H4, H24 and H72).

Comparison of dCt for each sample stored for different periods of time, under different temperature conditions and gathered according to VTM: A: Cepheid®; B: Virocult®; C: E-swab®. Each virus family is represented by a different symbol: FluA, open squares; FluB, closed squares; RSV, open circles. The dotted horizontal lines represent the 2 Ct cut-off.
