Request our Whitepaper: “Multiplexed wastewater monitoring reveals atypical respiratory pathogen seasonal activity”

Wastewater-based epidemiology continues to gain traction as a complement to clinical-based epidemiology by providing aggregate samples representative of entire communities. Using the Roche Digital LightCycler®, GT Molecular developed a multiplex assay kit targeting influenza A, influenza B, RSV A/B, SARS-CoV-2, along with all necessary controls. This whitepaper describes assay and system compatibility with various workflows, wastewater inhibition, longitudinal studies for monitoring atypical seasonal behavior. Use of this kit can provide rapid, actionable infectious disease trend monitoring.

Additional offerings from GT Molecular include:

  • RT-qPCR and digital PCR Kits targeting respiratory viruses, norovirus, C. auris, mpox, polio, and more!
  • Rapid, National digital PCR and NGS Wastewater and Research Testing Services
  • Wastewater Sample Logistics Management
  • Opioid and drugs of abuse testing in wastewater for community and institutional monitoring
  • Highly-multiplexed Cancer RUO* Panels (EGFR, KRAS, IDH 1&2, NPM1, etc.)
