Comprehensive Targets

The H2OBiome Assay tests two different targets of the SARS-CoV-2 Virus:

  1. N gene: Nucelocapsid Structural Protein

  2. ORF1ab region: encodes well-conserved non-structural proteins and therefore is less susceptible to recombination

see below for more details

Quantitative Results

qRT-PCR results are reported as viral copies/liter and can be used to understand trends in COVID-19 cases and prevalence

Quality Control

Robust controls are used for accurate and reproducible results:
-Each sample is spiked with a MS2 Phage internal control
-Both positive and negative controls are also used to ensure assay validity, accuracy and robustness

 

H2OBiome Testing Service presented at the NIST Meeting on Wastewater Testing Standards

The H2OBiome SARS-CoV 2 wastewater testing service targets BOTH the outer structural Nucleocapsid of the virus (N) as well as the RNA Viral Genome (ORF1ab).
