Use of Armored RNA in Wastewater and Environmental Water Testing

Wastewater testing plays a vital role in early disease detection, comprehensive community health assessment, and environmental monitoring making it a valuable tool for proactive public health and environmental management.

Armored RNA can be used in wastewater testing as a control for the detection and quantification of RNA, including SARS-CoV-2 RNA. It is used to monitor the efficiency of RNA extraction and to detect any inhibition in the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) process.
