Patent ID: 7927819

Claim:
A method for preparing and stabilizing one or more analytes in solutions for a denaturing immunoassay of body samples, comprising the steps of: i) obtaining a solubilized mammalian body sample containing one or more analytes in a sample medium comprising a denaturing agent of SDS at 0.1-1% (w/w), wherein the one or more analytes are HPV (human papilloma virus) associated markers; ii) subsequently heating said sample medium containing the one or more analytes to a temperature of 90-110±2° C. for a period of time of 3 to 45 minutes; iii) stabilizing and storing the one or more heated analytes in said sample medium; and iv) subsequently performing a denaturing immunoassay on said sample medium containing the one or more analytes and the denaturing agent of SDS.
