Wastewater App. Note
The Nio®+ system showed high resilience to inhibitors from wastewater, even with very high sample input.
Quantification of human cytomegalovirus in wastewater: Overcoming inhibition with the Nio®+ system.
This study showcases the Nio®+ system’s superior resilience to wastewater inhibitors, enabling sensitive and accurate quantification of hCMV DNA with high input volumes, minimal bias, and robust repeatability.
- Exceptional Inhibitor Tolerance, Nio®+ remained accurate with 80% wastewater input, while QIAcuity failed above 40%.
- Superior Sensitivity: Detected hCMV down to 5 copies/µL with <9% bias, outperforming QIAcuity platforms.
- High Throughput & Efficiency: 5 µL reactions and continuous chip loading enable cost-effective, high-volume testing.
- Strong User Endorsement: Praised for intuitive software, low hands-on time, and multiplexing flexibility.
