Wastewater Surveillance Target Expansion and the Need for Higher-Order Multiplexing

Wednesday, November 8, 2023 2:00pm - 2:45pm EST  
Host: WEF Buyers Guide
By: Sarah Kane, PhD, Director of Research and Development, GT Molecular

In this webinar, Dr. Kane will dive into wastewater surveillance history, the impact COVID-19 made on the field, and future targets per the guidance of the CDC. She will highlight the importance of higher order multiplexing and provide success stories using the Bio-Rad QX600™ Droplet Digital PCR system. 

Key Takeaways:

  • Wastewater testing became commonplace during COVID-19
  • Many pathogens beyond SARS-CoV-2 are viable targets for wastewater surveillance
  • The Bio-Rad QX600™ droplet digital PCR platform accommodates multiplexing across six channels
  • The CDC devised a 30-target panel for the next phase of wastewater surveillance
  • GT Molecular aims to develop multiplexed assays to monitor all 30 targets from a single sample prep
