  1. Ebola virus stocks were extracted with the Biomeme M1 Sample Prep. All samples were tested in triplicate. Amplification efficiencies were calculated using the straight-line portion of the regression curve. Limit of detection was calculated by absolute quantification with Droplet Digital PCR and probit analysis
