Biobot Analytics

By regularly sampling sewage streams and measuring the concen­tra­tion of viral DNA, which is shed in the stool of infected individuals, munic­i­pal­i­ties and building managers can transform their wastewater infra­struc­ture into health obser­va­to­ries. Biobot Analytics tests sewage samples from wastewater treatment plants across North America for SARS-Cov‑2 virus levels, providing a leading indicator of changes in clinical case counts and hospi­tal­iza­tions — but it can also test wastewater from offices, airports, prisons, university buildings, and long-term care facilities, picking up evidence of Covid-19, flu, or opioid use.
