Program cost
There is no cost to your organization to participate.
Sample analysis
All samples will be analyzed for Covid-1, RSV and Influenza A + B.
Sample collection kits
Each month, four kits will be sent to each participating site. These shipments are automatic and recurring in order for each site to never run out of supplies.
Sampling frequency
Participants are expected to send one influent wastewater sample to Biobot, using the Biobot provided kits, every week.
To best integrate with your wastewater facility’s normal operating practices, the selection of which day of the week works best to sample is up to you. We only ask that you avoid shipping samples on Fridays and keep your day of the week consistent across sampling weeks, if possible.
If, for any reason, you are unable to send a sample, please let our team know at support@biobot.io.
Biobot kits & sample logs
Information on the contents of Biobot’s kits can be found here, and instructions for using the kits and completing the sample log accompanying each sample are located here.
