Rapid qPCR-Based Water Quality Monitoring in New York State Recreational Waters

Rapid qPCR-Based Water Quality Monitoring in New York State Recreational Waters

Public swimming beaches often rely on culture-based methods to determine if fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) levels are greater than health risk-based beach action values (BAV). The slow turnaround time of culture-based assays can prevent effective beach closure and reopening decisions. Faster testing...
