[PRNewswire] Zymo Research Offers Community-Wide SARS-CoV-2 Detection and
Variant Tracking with the Environ™ COVID-19 Wastewater Testing Service
-- New Service Allows Tracking of Viral Variants and Vaccine Resistance with A Single Sample
(IRVINE, Calif., March 4 2021 PRNewswire=연합뉴스) Zymo Research announced today the launch of its Environ™ COVID-19 Wastewater Testing Service [https://www.zymoresearch.com/pages/zymo-environ-covid-19-wastewater-testing-service?utm_source=PRNewswire&utm_medium=Press_Release&utm_campaign=Environ_COVID19_Wastewater_Service_Launch_3.4.21 ]. This service facilitates daily community-wide monitoring of COVID-19 cases and variants from a single wastewater sample. Daily case estimates and detected SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern are provided via a secure digital report.
The Environ™ COVID-19 Wastewater Testing Service uses daily wastewater samples to provide institutions with the means to monitor COVID-19 variants and case levels. Participants will be provided with sample collection devices, enabling daily wastewater sample submission, and materials for secure, pre-paid overnight shipping. Within 24 hours of each sample submission, users will receive an electronic report containing their trend and case estimate analysis. Data pertaining to SARS-CoV-2 variants will be processed weekly. Case estimates are provided as well as daily concentration trends and the detection of variant strains of concern, relating to those found in Brazil, the UK, and South Africa. A Zymo Research Environ™ wastewater scientist guides every step of the process, from sample collection to interpretation of results.
"COVID-19 variants pose a significant risk to vaccination strategies making fast, reliable SARS-CoV-2 variant surveillance at scale more critical than ever before," said Michael Lisek, Project Manager, Environmental Microbiomics at Zymo Research. "We are grateful for the opportunity to help universities, public health agencies, and communities with limited testing resources monitor COVID-19 cases and variants at scale in a way that has not been possible before."
Institutions of higher education, schools with on-campus housing, nursing homes, correctional facilities, and hospitals are ideal candidates for wastewater testing due to the need for focused monitoring of populations at higher risk for COVID-19. By sampling in wastewater from group-living situations, organizations can quickly identify COVID-19 outbreaks up to a week before symptomatic cases appear with the Environ™ COVID-19 Wastewater Testing Service. The data from the service may be used to guide health strategies for public and private institutions.
As vaccine rollouts continue, the Environ™ COVID-19 Wastewater Testing Service will serve a critical role in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic by providing insight into case levels and variants present in communities.
