Direct Quantitation of SARS-CoV-2 Using Droplet Digital PCR in Suspected Samples With Very Low Viral Load

2021-04-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> The reference test for SARS-CoV-2 detection is the reverse transcriptase real time PCR (real time RT-PCR). However, evidences reported that real time RT-PCR has a lower sensitivity compared with the droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) leading to possible false negative in low viral load cases. <h4>Methods:</h4> We used ddPCR for viral genes N1 and N2 on 20 negative (no detection) samples from symptom...
