The three universities will join four other testing sites to help evaluate enhancements to the e2 Collector that speed testing and eliminate user errors in sampling.
"We are pleased to add these new sites to our on-going Collector Trial," said CytoCore's CEO Dr. Floyd Taub in a prepared statement. "This trial is expected to confirm and expand previous data on adequacy, sensitivity and specificity of CytoCore’s unique collector."
