FAQ-2928
What sample types can be processed using the QIAsymphony DSP Virus/Pathogen protocols?
Plasma, serum, and CSF samples can be processed using the QIAsymphony DSP Virus/Pathogen cellfree protocols. Respiratory samples (sputum, BAL, aspirates, dried swabs, transport media), and urogenital samples (urine, urogenital swabs, transport media) can be processed using the pathogen complex protocols.
