Get 8x More SARS-CoV-2 from Wastewater for the Earliest Detection of COVID-19
![line graph showing rfu, amplification and cycles](https://files.zymoresearch.com/images/lp-zymo_environ-8xs_more_rna_graph.jpg)
The Zymo Environ Water RNA Kit includes Water Concentrating Buffer (WCB). 5ml of SARS-CoV-2 positive wastewater was processed with and without WCB (n=2). RT-qPCR showed the addition of WCB shifted average Ct values earlier by ~3 (an 8-fold increase in viral recovery).
The Most Effective Wastewater Workflow Ever
- Enhanced viral enrichment; get 8x more viral RNA
- Pathogen inactivation for safe handling
- PCR inhibitors removed in one spin
- ≥ 6 µl elution improves limits of detection

PCR Inhibitor-Free RNA

Extracted Wastewater RNA is free of PCR Inhibitors. 50K HeLa cells were spiked into DNA/RNA Shield (positive extraction control) and into wastewater. RNA was extracted (n=2) and RT-qPCR (Quasar 670) analysis showed the ΔCt is <0.5, indicating the extraction system effectively removes inhibitors in wastewater.
