Abstract
This webinar will explore how microfluidic singleplex qPCR enables simultaneous detection of multiple respiratory pathogens across diverse sample types in surveillance settings. We'll begin with an overview of the technology and its advantages over conventional qPCR methods followed by talks from our two guest speakers:
Detection of Multiple Respiratory Pathogens in Air Samples Collected from K-12 Schools Using a Custom Respiratory Pathogen Assay Panel from Standard BioTools
Presented by Amy Ellis, PhD - University of Wisconsin-Madison
Microfluidic qPCR for Detection of 21 Common Respiratory Viruses in Children with Influenza-Like Illness
Presented by Thomas J. Saville, BSc (Hons) - University of Sheffield
Learning Objectives
- Identify the principles and advantages of microfluidic singleplex qPCR technology, including its scalability, throughput, and ability to simultaneously detect multiple pathogens.
- Learn how environmental air sampling combined with custom microfluidic qPCR panels can be applied for respiratory pathogen surveillance in school settings.
- Explore the use of microfluidic qPCR for broad respiratory virus detection in epidemiologic settings.
Webinars will be available for unlimited on-demand viewing after live event.
