When real-time wastewater and environmental surveillance (WES) data triggers coordinated, multi-agency interventions, it demonstrates the critical role WES plays in mass-gathering preparedness and broader global health security frameworks.

Here, the Uganda Ministry of Health and the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) Global Health team leveraged WES to monitor risk and translate data into actionable public health responses.

We are proud that Nanotrap® Technology played a vital role in enabling this workflow and supporting impactful, data-driven decision-making.

Mass gatherings increase the risk of infectious disease transmission, particularly when healthcare systems are overstretched and underfunded. Wastewater and environmental surveillance (WES) offer a real-time, non-invasive method for monitoring pathogen circulation at the population level. During Uga...

📢 New Insight from the Frontlines of Public Health Surveillance!

A study in Kampala, Uganda, shows that wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) can detect SARS-CoV-2 transmission 2–5 weeks before clinical cases, with the strongest signal at ~4 weeks.

Analyzing 244 samples across four facilities, they found high detection rates and episodic viral surges—demonstrating WBS as a cost-effective, population-level tool for outbreak preparedness, especially in resource-limited settings.

Beyond COVID-19, WBS can support multi-disease surveillance and smarter public health response. Read the full article: https://www.ceresnano.com/post/wastewater-based-surveillance-as-a-proactive-public-health-tool-insights-from-sars-cov-2-monitoring

Article Link: https://rdcu.be/e011LAbstract: Wastewater-based surveillance offers a cost-effective, population-level complement to clinical testing for early detection of infectious disease outbreaks; however, its adoption in low- and middle-income countries remains limited. We conducted a study in....

New Application Note: Capture of Small DNA Fragments for Transplant Analysis

Transplant-derived cfDNA is often smaller (80–120 bp) and can be missed by conventional extraction methods. This app note evaluates extraction performance for small DNA fragments using transplant patient samples—highlighting implications for more sensitive, non-invasive monitoring.

📄 Read the app note: https://www.ceresnano.com/post/capture-of-small-dna-fragments-for-transplant-dna-analysis

📩 Want to learn more?
Contact us at sales@ceresnano.com to discuss how this approach could improve your transplant cfDNA workflow.

One of the challenges of working with cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is its small size. cfDNA fragments tend to be 167 bp or multiples thereof, and traditional bead-based DNA extraction methods are less efficient at capturing small-size DNA. Traditional DNA extraction methods have a lower fragment size cutof...
