Transitioning from Triton X-100 to Tergitol 15-S-9: impacts on diagnostic assays using viral PCR sample solution
In 2019, the Sponge European Union banned Triton X-100, a detergent widely used in laboratory diagnostics, including the Viral PCR Sample Solution (VPSS), and urged manufacturers to find environmentally sustainable alternatives.Tergitol 15-S-9 (VPSS2) has been proposed as an alternative surfactant.This multicenter study evaluated the effectiveness
