Article Link Abstract: Genetic testing of community wastewater (wastewater surveillance) is a valuable tool for following trends in the abundance of SARS-CoV-2 and other infectious disease pathogens over time. Wastewater surveillance is increasingly important in the absence of corresponding epidemiological data, particularly for infectious diseases with limited timely data on clinical case incidences. Due to the inherent noise in wastewater data, a single sample is not sufficient to identify...

This application note outlines a scalable and automation-friendly workflow for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) surveillance from wastewater, utilizing Ceres' Nanotrap® Microbiome A Particles for viral enrichment, New England Biolabs' Monarch® Mag Viral DNA/RNA Extraction Kit with DNase treatment to reduce gDNA contamination, and NEBNext® targeted sequencing for high genome coverage and accurate strain identification. ​ The workflow addresses challenges of low viral loads and wastewater...

Here we introduce a new sample preparation tool for plasma-based proteomics that is simple, easy-to-use, and versatile–Nanotrap® Protein Enrichment Affinity Kits. Nanotrap Protein Enrichment Affinity Kits use the Nanotrap magnetic hydrogel particle technology to capture and concentrate low abundance, low molecular weight proteins and peptides while simultaneously excluding higher molecular weight proteins. In this application note, we demonstrate how to use Nanotrap Protein Enrichment Kits to...
