Rapid, on-site

Wastewater-Based Epidemiology

Results in just 2 hours

Faster, cheaper, easier

The challenge with previous methods for testing wastewater for COVID-19 is that the collection, extraction and concentration steps are expensive, complicated and time-consuming.

LuminUltra’s patent-pending innovation has simplified the process, resulting in a easy-to-use test that gets you results in hours – not days or weeks. Unlike other testing methods, no specialized equipment or lab expertise is required.

WHITEPAPER

Detect COVID-19 outbreaks 7 days sooner

By comparing SARS-CoV-2 concentration in wastewater using the direct extraction method to reported clinical cases across the same time period, the results of this study demonstrate the capability of wastewater surveillance to detect trends in community COVID-19 cases 7 days prior to cases being reported.

Rapid, portable testing

Gold-standard qPCR testing technology

Wastewater testing for COVID-19 is done via qPCR – the same technology used for clinical testing.

The LuminUltra GeneCount® qPCR device is rapid, portable, can be used on-site without a lab, and produces results in under 90 minutes.
