Putting Pathogens to the Test with Wastewater Surveillance

From foundational technologies to cutting-edge microfluidics, scientists use the latest wastewater surveillance techniques to track infectious diseases as they arise and spread.

Brought to you byStandard BioTools

Scientists test wastewater samples to monitor the quantity and diversity of disease biomarkers within a community. Wastewater surveillance and the technologies that enable sensitive, rapid, high-throughput pathogen analysis provide valuable insights to researchers and public health professionals, informing epidemiological breakthroughs and timely population health interventions.
