An Important Webinar About Detecting and Tracking COVID-19 Outbreaks from Wastewater Analysis

Wastewater analysis initiatives taken by cities, municipalities, universities and others suggest the SARS-CoV-2 virus passes through human bodies and ends up in wastewater streams, and remains there for a long period longer than on the surface water.

RNA analysis of wastewater can detect this presence of virus, and if done in sewers close to the neighborhood, industrial zone, commercial area, or campus, may yield very valuable insights in the fight against COVID-19.

The Benefits of Wastewater Analysis Include:

• Detection of carriers in a given community, even if they are asymptomatic. This can assist in proactively managing healthcare resources, better planning for hospitalization surge, the allocation of hospital assets (i.e. beds and ventilators).
• Assistance in the decision to implement business closures, mask wearing, and social distancing.
• If wastewater analysis is performed on at schools and university dormitories, schools can be made a safer place for students and allow educational institutions to operate at higher efficiency.
• If wastewater analysis is done at the treatment plant, it can help verifying that treatment process is adequate to kill the virus and assist in ensuring that treatment plant discharge is 100% virus free.

In short, any type of early information or indications will help us better manage this pandemic and hopefully reduce potential threats.

This 40 minute presentation, presented by Teledyne ISCO, is a "must watch" for anyone in epidemiology, public health, wastewater treatment, and municipal water systems.

Teledyne ISCO Water Samplers Assist in Coronavirus Tracking in Water Treatment Facilities

Reading the headlines today, you are seeing more and more municipalities testing their wastewater for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Viruses and bacteria excreted in urine and stool collect in public sewers. The use of sewage pathogen monitoring in wastewater treatment facilities as a public health surveillance tool is now a reality. Environmental microbiologists have studied pathogens in sewage for decades, but now because of COVID-19, public health surveillance efforts focussing on tracking virus levels is at an all time high. It is critical that expanded testing and monitoring continue, as this will certainly help in understanding how the SARS-CoV-2 virus spreads and potentially affects community populations.


Teledyne ISCO, the leading manufacturer of water / wastewater sampling and monitoring tools, is helping in this effort. Teledyne ISCO manufactures a complete line of robust and reliable portable and refrigerated samplers. Using this equipment as part of their overall Coronavirus strategy, municipalities have portable and refrigerated samplers ready for widespread collection and testing. These samplers can be used in any kind of environment or test situation. They are easy to use and program, and they have many configuration options.

With so little knowledge of the SARS-CoV-2 spread, this approach may be very important. The data accumulated from the implementation of large-scale sewer sampling and Coronavirus testing may provide the information needed to build dynamic virus spread maps and, ultimately, the ability to predict and prevent flare-ups.

The Teledyne ISCO 5800 Refrigerated Sequential/Composite Sampler

The 5800 Refrigerated Sampler is an automated wastewater sampler that can collect liquid samples from a variety of sources including open channels, sewers, and storm pipe conduits.

This indoor/outdoor use sampler is made of durable UV-resistant plastic that provides exceptional resistance to corrosion and weathering. Most notably, the refrigerator body is made from rotationally molded linear low-density polyethylene. This unique construction material was selected for its strength, durability, and its ability to withstand temperature extremes. The system is rated for –29 to 49 °C (–20 to 120 °F) operation. The hollow cavities are filled with foam insulation. To protect the non-CFC system, all refrigeration parts are powder coated with heat-treated polyester.

Unattended sample collection events can be triggered by time intervals (time pacing), or by flow volume measured by an external flow measurement device (flow pacing or constant volume variable time). Isco flow meters are compatible flow measurement devices, as well as any device that can provide a 5 to 15 VDC pulse or contact closure of at least 25 mS duration, or a linear 4-20 mA current loop signal. An external device can also disable the sampler until measured site conditions are met, at which time the sampler begins the automated collection.

The sampler’s pump can deliver the liquid through a 9 mm (3/8") suction line at transport velocities of at least 0.9 meters per second (3.0 ft/sec) at 0.9 m (3.0 ft) of head. The transport velocity at 7.6 m (25 ft) of head is 0.67 m/sec (2.2 ft/sec). The maximum lifting height of the sampler is 8 m (28 ft). To produce accurate and repeatable samples, the pump uses a pump revolution counter and non-contacting liquid detector.

The collected samples are stored inside the refrigerated compartment and cooled for sample preservation. Samples can be deposited into a single bottle (composite), or collected as discrete samples, each into a separate bottle of a multi-bottle rack (sequential), or a combination of these modes. The cooled samples are maintained until an operator can remove them from the sampler and deliver them to the laboratory.

The Teledyne ISCO Signature® Flowmeter

The Signature® flowmeter by Teledyne ISCO was created for open channel flow monitoring software.   The meter may compute flow using regular open channel level-to-flow and area velocity conversions, as well as user-defined equations, amount to area info points, or level to stream information points, depending on the application demand.

The Signature® flowmeter has unique features to verify data integrity.  It logs key events like changes in calibration and electricity outages to validate data accuracy.  Data are readily assessed to detect any kind of information alteration.  With multiple intelligent port options and multi-parameter logging (such as pH), the Signature flowmeter gives a common platform for control activity, reporting, and communicating.

Multiple flow technologies are available so that you are able to select the best flow technologies for the measurement site and channel requirements.  Accessible technology are: bubbler, ultrasonic, constant tide area velocity, and non-contacting LaserFlow™ velocity.

Teledyne ISCO Samplers: Selection and Programming

Sampling studies of wastewater concentrate mainly on gathering samples of the influential or effluent in domestic and non-domestic facilities. There are many reasons why water or wastewater should be sampled. It is often a legal necessity, but it also helps safeguard surface water, track wastewater treatment procedures or identify discharges into a sewage system. Sampling activities are usually conducted for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) compliance, compliance assistance, civil and criminal investigations, and water quality studies. Collection of wastewater samples is necessary in order to obtain reliable data that can support compliance or enforcement activities.

Teledyne ISCO automatic water samplers are the smart and time-tested way of sampling. Fully automated devices take samples from industrial and municipal sewage treatment plants, water management authorities and all industrial clients where reliable water sampling is essential.

This video presentation describes the selection and programming of Teledyne ISCO Samplers.
