Deployment of novel real-time wastewater monitoring technology for detection of viruses and commercial use cases

Untap一直在开发一种原型系统，用于自动实时检测废水中的病毒。废水是表明社区健康状况的宝贵数据来源，在过去一年中，废水已被用于在临床病例出现之前检测COVID暴发，并在地理上针对英国的封锁。然而，废水分析目前是劳动密集型和缓慢的，样品需要在现场以外手工处理。我们正在通过在自动化工作流程中对废水进行检测，从而彻底改变废水监测。在这个项目中，我们需要资金来运行我们的第一次现场部署，特别是将数据集成到我们潜在客户的工作流程中，并生成用例，以突出这些实时数据的价值和可操作性，这是以前无法获得的。

Untap have been developing a prototype system for the automated real-time detection of viruses in wastewater (sewage). Wastewater is a valuable data source indicating the health of the community, and has been used over the past year to detect COVID outbreaks before clinical cases emerge and to geographically target the UK lockdowns. However, wastewater analysis is currently labour intensive and slow, with samples being manually processed off-site. We are revolutionising wastewaters surveillance by bringing detection to the wastewater in an automated workflow.In this project, we request funding to run our first field deployments, specifically looking at integrating the data into the workflows of our potential customers and generating use cases that highlight the value and actionability of this real-time data which has not been previously available.
