At Biobot, we analyze wastewater across the country for various infectious disease pathogens. Here’s what we found in our most recent tests: traces of bird flu (H5N1) popping up in wastewater samples from 13 states. Between February and March 2025, we worked with wastewater treatment plants in 42 states to see whether the highly pathogenic bird flu (H5N1) was circulating. The results? We ...
With the continuous development of science and technology, gas analysis technology plays an important role in environmental monitoring, industrial production, medical diagnosis and other fields. Among them, extractive gas analyzer and in-situ gas analyzer are two common gas analysis methods, each with unique advantages and applicable scenarios. This Blog will make a detailed comparison of these ...
If a primer nucleotide sequence overlaps with or is an EVE sequence and this is the standardized primer used to detect a given virus, then the presence of the viral fragment in host DNA would be interpreted as the actively pathogenic virus being present. ...
To this end, several diagnostic methods have been designed and tested, and one USA FDA approved test kit utilises fluorescence based reverse transcript real-time polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) technique. The rRT-PCR test works by detecting replicated nucleic acid copies from the SARS-CoV-2 virus through a bound fluorescence probe that is released from its ...
As you may already know, PCR is a method to detect SARS-COV-2 virus, more specifically its nucleic acid. It is the “golden standard” of SARS-2 detection, as declared by the World Health Association (WHO). ...
Lyophilized reagents and kits improve a laboratory’s throughput, reduce labor, and require fewer consumables. Lyophilized Monkeypox Virus Nucleic Acid Detection Kit In response to the 2022 monkeypox outbreak, we have developed our Lyophilized Monkeypox Virus Real-Time PCR Kit and obtained CE-IVD approval. The lyophilized kit includes a set ...

We assessed air and surface samples collected from the bedroom of a self-isolating university student with mild COVID-19 for the presence of SARS-CoV-2. That virus’ RNA was detected by real-time reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (rRT-qPCR) in air samples from both an isolation bedroom and a distal, non-isolation room of the same ...
Wastewater & COVID-19 Connections When the word wastewater crosses your mind, there is probably also a memory of your Mom’s voice telling you – wash your hands! When humans transitioned into community living, keeping your living space separate from your bathroom space was an important rule to learn. We can thank early scientists who were curious about how diseases spread and ...
The virus is typically not detectable at 31 C or higher. Most companies do not routinely do this. ...
High-throughput sequencing technology can easily detect viral genomes. Even though most oncogenic viruses are DNA viruses, RNA-Seq can detect their transcribed RNAs. ...
Amplicon-based NGS has also shown its potential application in virus detection. In the recent emergence of the COVID-19, amplicon sequencing has been used to design rapid testing kits that confirm the presence of the virus in clinical respiratory samples. ...
Results published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases show that subjects with vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies were protected against infection and illness following challenge with an antigenically distinct virus. This is believed to be the first demonstration of vaccine-induced protection against a highly drifted H3N2 influenza virus in a human ...
Airborne detection of COVID-19 can be used by medical centers, schools, and other locations to safely reopen. Click here to learn how BioFlash, our portable environmental monitoring solution, can help ensure indoor environments are free of infectious virus particles or detect the presence of airborne COVID-19 to stop the spread. ...
Some of the common misconceptions about thermal imaging scanner are: 1. Does thermal camera detect and treat virus? No – The role of the thermal camera is to measure someone’s skin temperature. ...
How to detect African Swine Fever virus African swine fever poses a significant risk to wild boar populations and agricultural meat production. Currently the disease, which is caused by the African Swine Fever (ASF) virus, is spreading more and more in Europe. In Germany, the first case of an ASF infected wild boar was ...
Sewage and wastewater help in the fight against COVID-19 The World Health Organization declared SARS-CoV-2, known as COVID-19, a worldwide pandemic in March 2020. The world health organization has since reported 35.3 million cases and over 1 million deaths. Despite widespread efforts to social distance, wear masks, and reduce travel, infection rates keep climbing. Infectious disease researchers ...
Multiplex real-time PCR: A guide to application In multiplex real-time PCR (qPCR), scientists amplify two or more target genes in the same reaction, using the same reagent mix. Multiplexing allows scientists to overcome limitations for myriad applications. First and foremost, multiplexing enables scientists to conserve valuable samples used in a quantitative assay, which is especially ...
This white paper discusses the possibilities of rapid, point-of-care virus testing using inexpensive and easy-to-use screen-printed electrodes that are produced with ISO 13485 certification ("Manufacturing of sensors for medical devices"). Compared with other methods, such as virus isolation cultures, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and other molecular methods, including polymerase ...
Conclusions Our results demonstrate TBLASTN searching massively parallel sequencing (MPS) assemblies with a compact, manually curated viral protein database is more sensitive for adventitious virus detection than BLASTN, as we identified various sequences that encoded virus-like proteins, but had no similarity to viral sequences at the ...
Yellow Head Virus (YHV) Yellow Head Virus was the first major viral disease problem to affect Asian shrimp farms when it was diagnosed as causing extensive losses for shrimp farming. YHV and its close relatives GAV and LOVV are single stand RNA viruses, similar to TSV. The first records of this virus were from P. monodon ponds in Eastern Thailand, it had moved to Southern Thailand and was ...
