Wastewater surveillance using ddPCR accurately tracked Omicron emergence due to altered N1 probe binding efficiency
PRODUCTS USED
ABSTRACT
Wastewater surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 uses droplet digital (dd)PCR for absolute quantification and high sensitivity. We found ddPCR can also distinguish and accurately quantify Delta and Omicron variants due to a mutation in the probe binding site.
