Efficient sampling procedures for SARS-CoV-2 in air and wastewater
2 Dec 2021The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak has created an urgent need to develop and optimize methods to sample the virus both in aerosols, its primary transmission route, as well as in wastewater, a surveillance method to track and manage infections. As such, reliable air and water monitoring protocols are crucial in accurately detecting COVID-19 and managing the dynamics of the pandemic.
In this free eBook, we provide a compendium of methods to collect viruses from air and water samples, concentrate viral proteins, and optimize sample preparation for PCR-based COVID-19 detection. Download now to explore content including:
- Sampling airborne viruses
- Gelatin membranes for air sampling
- Coronavirus detection from aerosols

Vivaflow®
Sartorius GroupVivaflow® is the original plug-and-play tangential flow filtration (TFF) solution for handling samples up to 5 L in research and development laboratories.
Vivaspin® Turbo
Sartorius GroupClassical concentration and buffer exchange methods are labor intensive, generate excessive waste and suffer from sample loss and long process times. It can also be difficult to retrieve retentate samples from centrifugal ultrafilters when using standard pipette tips. To overcome these challenges, Sartorius has developed Vivaspin® Turbo - the ultimate range of centrifugal ultrafilters. These feature highly optimized designs and membrane options to offer the highest processing speeds, maximum biomolecule recoveries, and straightforward retentate retrieval.
