GT-Digital Influenza and SARS-CoV-2 Wastewater Surveillance Multiplex Assay Kit for the QIAcuity™ Digital PCR System

(Cat# 100305)

The GT-Digital Influenza and SARS-CoV-2 Wastewater Surveillance Multiplex Assay Kit for the QIAcuity™ Digital PCR System comprises a molecular reagent kit containing all primers, probes, and controls for wastewater surveillance of Influenza and SARS-CoV-2, in compliance with the CDC Wastewater Surveillance Testing Method guidance for reporting to the National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS). Assay solutions and appropriate controls are provided for the quantification of 1) Influenza; 2) SARS-CoV-2; 3) Bovine Coronavirus (BCoV), a matrix recovery control (also called an internal process control) biologically similar to SARS-CoV-2; and 3) Pepper Mild Mottle virus (PMMoV), a fecal indicator that can estimate the human fecal content in a sample. Through use of this kit in conjunction with the QIAGEN QIAcuity™ instrument, users can monitor Influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2 levels and normalize for changes in viral recovery caused by the variable and complex nature of wastewater, as well as normalize for human waste input, which can change over time due to dilution and variations in human behavior (travel, tourism, etc.). Contains enough material for 200 reactions.
