FPSA - Novel Hydrogel-Based Concentration Method Could Improve Hepatitis A PCR Detection for Fruit Wash Water

A Center for Produce Safety-funded proof-of-concept study is exploring a novel, high-throughput capture and concentration method for hepatitis A virus in fruit wash water, which uses magnets and hydrogel nanoparticles. It could be added to existing FDA and ISO digital PCR assay workflows, potentially reducing false positives.
