Probe-based qPCR becomes a sensitive and rapid diagnostic tool for mpox detection when combined with fast-cycling protocols. With the recent outbreak of mpox (formerly monkeypox) in Africa and the first case of the more serious Clade 1b identified in Sweden, we're resharing our application note outlining an optimised qPCR protocol for rapid, strain-specific detection.

Designed to support efforts in quickly diagnosing mpox, this application note can also be used as a guide to set up multiplex assays for the detection of any DNA virus or target.

You will find details on:

• Primer and probe sequences for generic and strain-specific mpox detection
• Using Clara^® Probe Mix for multiplex detection assays
• Examples of standard and fast cycling qPCR program setup
• How fast cycling combined with sensitive probe chemistry make multiplex qPCR a rapid and powerful diagnostic tool
