Virus detection

Untap provides a pathogen monitoring service
to reduce transmission of infectious diseases within your community
We provide an early warning system, detecting the presence of carriers whether they are
  • 1. Asymptomatic (no symptoms)
  • 2. Pre-symptomatic (up to a week before symptoms appear)
  • 3. Symptomatic
Daily monitoring enables the appropriate response to the measured risk

Wastewater surveillance is used to detect infectious diseases, to understand community prevalence and to identify rising and falling case rates. Using PCR technology, wastewater surveillance can achieve 96% positive detection rates (sensitive) and 100% negative detection rates (specific). Unlike blood or saliva tests, where individuals must give time and submit to invasive testing procedures, wastewater monitoring is 100% passive, and the data is already anonymised.

FAQs

Where is wastewater surveillance used?

The UK government used wastewater surveillance as an early warning system to detect local outbreaks across the country. This data showed a spike in COVID-19 on the South Coast despite relatively low numbers of people seeking tests.
Wastewater surveillance is already used as an early warning system in care homes, college campuses, hospitals, prisons and more, as community threats can be monitored without requiring individuals to give blood or saliva samples.

How does wastewater surveillance work?

Wastewater from the building is automatically collected throughout the day and samples are analysed on-site, using state-of-the-art PCR techniques.
This provides the prevalence of viral or bacterial disease outbreaks in the community.
This data is provided on the same day, to implement rapid response measures.

Which communities can you monitor?

We can monitor any community that lives or works from a common building.

How sensitive is wastewater surveillance?

Wastewater surveillance can detect viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 in as few as one infected person amongst 10,000 healthy people.

How much does it cost?

On-site community testing using wastewater costs less than distributing lateral flow tests to the whole community.
