摘 要:Molecular testing sensitivity,which allows for early diagnosis of the 2019 coronavirus disease(COVID-19),could be affected by sample quality,storage,and transportation timeframe to the laboratory,along with bias related to the pre-analytic *** present study reports the selection and decontamination of nasopharyngeal samples during COVID-19 management at the Institut Pasteur Côte d’*** objective of this work was to organize sample reception management and report a complete picture of sample selection and decontamination in the context of diagnosis activity *** administrative note creating the selection and decontamination unit of nasopharyngeal samples initiated activities in May *** required human resources and necessary materials were identified and put in *** activity consisted of receiving,sorting,decontaminating,and sending nasopharyngeal samples to different diagnostic *** were recorded *** a six-month period of activities,from a total amount of 11,401 containers received and decontaminated,174,085 samples were selected.A proportion of 92.0%of these specimens met the diagnostic standards,while 7.0%that were found acceptable showed minor ***,a rate of 1.0%of samples with major abnormalities could not be used for COVID-19 testing and,therefore,were ***,the non-conformity rate was reduced by 2.4%after the first term *** and decontamination of nasopharyngeal samples are crucial steps in biosafety optimization for the technical staff and quality improvement of sample care.
