(a) Filtered AQ20 reads of the fine needle aspirate smears (blue, left) and cell blocks (green, right) used in our study. All samples (except case 20, cell block) demonstrated an AQ20 read of over the minimum set at 300 000. (b) Comparable average filtered AQ20 reads from fine needle aspirate (FNA) smears, cell blocks and FFPE material retrieved from excisional biopsies. (c) Representative heat map of wells, ISP, of a representative sample run that included five excisional biopsies (FFPE material), one FNA smear and one cell block; (d) Filtered AQ20 reads from the same run that included five excisional biopsies (FFPE material), one FNA smear (sample 3) and one cell block (sample 4).
