Quantifying SARS-CoV-2 Virions in City Wastewater
Description
This template was adapted from the original submission. Edits were made to enhance scientific accuracy, optimal usability and/or to meet industry-leading design standards for science communication.
This figure highlights the key steps in quantifying SARS-CoV-2 viral particles in wastewater. This can be used as a method to test whether SARS-CoV-2 infections have occurred in a particular area, and if so, to what extent. The figure describes 1) collection and preservation of the sample, 2) primary processing (RNA extraction), and 3) RNA quantification.
