IDEXX SARS-CoV-2 Test Kit
Water SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Test

Principle: RT-qPCR detecting approximately 1 gene copy/1 ml wastewater

Automation: No

Suitability: Detection of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater

Capital equipment required: Yes

Description:

The Water SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Test is a real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) test that detects and quantifies viral RNA in an appropriately prepared wastewater concentrate sample. When used with the 105 ml concentration protocol, the lowest concentration of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater that can be detected by the Water SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Test is approximately 1 gene copy/1 ml.
