This study highlights hpPCR’s role in swift SARS-CoV-2 variant tracking in Swedish wastewater.
The publication, produced in collaboration with SEEC, showcases a full year of SARS-CoV-2 variant tracking in Swedish wastewater using hpPCR. This study demonstrates how hpPCR successfully fills the bioanalytical method gap between qPCR/dPCR and NGS, upgrading the current WBE analytical toolbox by providing:
High multiplexity per sample with single nucleotide specificity
NGS-grade mutation frequency quantification with a good correlation (r = 0.88) extremely high linearity (R2 > 0.99)
4-weeks+ early detection of variants of concern demonstrated vs sequencing
Panel customization with new probes within 2 weeks without panel re-optimization.
