Monitoring biological parameters in wastewater
Spotlight on samplers for monitoring SARS-CoV-2
The analysis of wastewater for SARSCoV-2 can provide valuable information on the occurrence of the Covid-19 infection in the catchment area of a wastewater treatment plant. The first pilot projects have already been launched in the USA and Australia for example. A comprehensive monitoring system was set up in the Netherlands.
Objective
Real-time monitoring of regional prevalences within large populations
Early detections of hot spots
Cost-effective analysis of large populations in addition to individual testing
Challenge
The goal of the comprehensive monitoring is to provide representative sampling with an increased number of samples and to gain new information about the spreading of the virus and to detect variation fast and to predict the developement of the situation.
Solution
The stationary sampler Liquistation CSF48 is optimized for temperature control and to ensure an unbroken cool chain. High-quality insulation of the sampling room, integrated temperature logging and long-lasting refrigeration systems all guarantee a high level of safety and low maintenance requirements. Thanks to the proven coating of the refrigeration systems, the Liquistation CSF48 offers ultimate corrosion resistance.
