Detecting COVID-19 variants in wastewater has become faster and less expensive, with a new method developed by researchers from the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART). The method enables researchers to detect the Alpha variant more effectively. It's also more sensitive, and can be used to good effect in diluted or mixed wastewater samples. The team is now working on ways to detect and quantify the Delta variant. Dr Lee Wei Lin, research scientist from the antimicrobial resistance interdisciplinary research group at SMART, shared more on detecting viruses in wastewater samples.
