Detection and Stability of SARS-CoV-2 Fragments in Wastewater: Impact of Storage Temperature

SARS-CoV-2 wastewater epidemiology suffers from uncertainties concerning sample storage. We show the effect of the storage of wastewater on the detectable SARS-CoV-2 load. Storage at 4 °C for up to 9 days had no significant effect, while storage at −20 °C led to a significant reduction in gene copy...

Sumario:SARS-CoV-2 wastewater epidemiology suffers from uncertainties concerning sample storage. We show the effect of the storage of wastewater on the detectable SARS-CoV-2 load. Storage at 4 °C for up to 9 days had no significant effect, while storage at −20 °C led to a significant reduction in gene copy numbers.
