Combinati’s Absolute Q® is the only digital PCR system with unparalleled accuracy and a workflow identical to qPCR.
Combinati’s Absolute Q® is the only digital PCR system with unparalleled accuracy and a workflow identical to qPCR.
Designed for use on the Absolute Q Digital PCR platform, the SARS-CoV-2 Wastewater Surveillance 4-plex Kit is formulated specifically for monitoring SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater. Leveraging the 4-color multiplexing capability of the Absolute Q, the assay quantifies the N1 and N2 gene from SARS-CoV-2 along with Pepper Mild Mottle Virus (PMMoV) for a human fecal control and Bovine Coronavirus (BCoV) as an integrated process control target all in a single reaction.

Tracking SARS-CoV-2 levels in wastewater has been shown to be a useful predictor of potential outbreaks.1 However, for meaningful interpretation of SARS-Cov2 data, a normalization target is critical. The SARS-CoV-2 Wastewater Surveillance 4-plex Kit utilizes the Pepper Mild Mottle Virus (PMMoV) as a human fecal load control as recommended by the CDC.
In this Application Note, the Absolute Q and SARS-CoV-2 Wastewater Surveillance 4-plex Kit were used to test wastewater samples collected for an University on-campus monitoring effort.

The SARS-CoV-2 Wastewater Surveillance 4-plex Assay also includes a process control target (BCoV) to enable precise quantification of nucleic acid recovery during sample processing.
By spiking in a quantified control material, the Absolute Q’s accurate output allows precise measurement of extraction efficiency across different samples.
