Preparation and validation of lyophilized samples to use as a control of molecular biology tests for HPV is very important. There are several techiniques to performer molecular test to detecte HPV however, it is necessary that their is a sample control whith can be used independent of methodology. Validation of lyophilized samples by different molecular techniques to have harmonized standards relies on consistent control.engExternal Quality AssuranceEQAHuman Papilloma VirusHPVSample ValidationMolecular BiologyQuality ControlDNAAvaliação Externa da QualidadePortugalBraziljournal article10.31080/asmi.2020.03.0633
