Abstract

This method was developed at the FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition for GenomeTrakr’s pandemic response project, monitoring SARS-CoV-2 variants in wastewater​​. Protocols developed for this project cover wastewater collection, concentration, RNA extraction, RT-qPCR detection, library prep, genome sequencing, quality control checks, and data submission to NCBI. This method provides a reagent formula required in the rapid concentration of intact viruses from wastewater using a combination of PEG precipitation and ultracentrifugation.

Steps

1.

Dissolve components in ~700mL deionized or ultrapure water. Heating to 50°C is recommended to facilitate dissolution.
