Complete PCR-based detection workflow of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater

Monitoring wastewater for SARS-CoV-2 can be a valuable data resource for effective COVID-19 management. Recently published research has demonstrated that these analyses can provide a macro picture of the level of infection in a geographical area and facilitate the early identification of infection hotspots.

In this application note, Analytik Jena provides a complete workflow – from sample collection to detection – designed to provide an effective tool for public health authorities and other parties involved in managing the pandemic. This workflow is of particular interest as it may be adapted to the detection and analysis of other biological parameters such as other viruses or bacteria.
