Wastewater-based surveillance of respiratory pathogens is challenging due to low target abundance and complex sample matrices. This study demonstrates that Nanotrap® Microbiome Particles can enhance native pathogen recovery and detection sensitivity from influent wastewater, enabling more comprehensive monitoring

of respiratory disease circulation in communities.

In This Experiment

Recovery and sensitivity using the Nanotrap® Microbiome Workflows were evaluated relative to conventional precipitation and ultrafiltration methods.
Four wastewater concentration methods were compared for detecting respiratory pathogens using the Truemark™ Respiratory Panel 2.0 on TaqMan™ Array Cards.
