Product Details
Infectious agents and drugs are secreted from our bodies as waste, so wastewater or sewage surveillance enables the detection of disease outbreaks 1 to 2 weeks faster than clinical testing and can even identify infections before individuals develop symptoms.2 Wastewater testing can also identify specific pathogenic variants that may be circulating in the community to better inform vaccine development and distribution. Variant tracking is also helpful in predicting potential healthcare system burden and economic impact.
As a result, wastewater surveillance provides a more convenient and less invasive way to gather data on infectious disease spread. The information obtained through wastewater testing enables a rapid response to an infectious disease outbreak or developing drug crisis, which is crucial to maintain a safe and healthy community.3,4
