Effective air and wastewater sampling workflows for real-time surveillance of outbreaks

The efficacy of monitoring air and wastewater for viruses and other pathogens during public health crises has been repeatedly demonstrated, and feasibility is greater than ever

RT-LAMP nucleic-acid-based amplification provides a rapid and low-cost option for viral pathogen detection

Recent review concludes that the most effective way to collect and detect airborne pathogens, particularly viruses, is to use cyclone sampling techniques

Bacteria cells are so teeny tiny that it has been very difficult to analyze just one bacterial cell, or bacterium, at a time

One-step RT-qPCR–based applications are increasingly being used in life science research to quickly quantify genes of interest directly from many RNA samples simultaneously

Bio-Rad’s iQ-Check real-time PCR test kits were selected based on their proven real-time PCR technology 

New technique can reveal previously undetectable bacteria in places where they aren't wanted

A technician’s time and energy is still spent on the slow and tedious sample preparation steps prior to analysis

A 2014 survey of 200 fields in 22 South Dakota counties showed that approximately 30 fields in 18 counties had signs of sudden death syndrome
