Streck Partners with Ceres to Distribute COVID Wastewater Surveillance Solution
Omaha-based Streck (www.streck.com) is pleased to announce their partnership with Ceres Nanosciences to distribute Nanotrap® Magnetic Virus Particles that provide rapid viral concentration directly from raw sewage. This product dramatically reduces the time and effort required to test wastewater samples for COVID-19 surveillance. Wastewater surveillance can act as an early-warning system for COVID-19 “hotspots” within a community. The Ceres Nanotrap Magnetic Virus Particles facilitate a streamlined workflow, improved sensitivity, and reduced time to results. The Ceres products are a natural fit for distribution by Streck since both companies share an innovative and dynamic approach to providing solutions to the healthcare community.
“Streck is pleased to enter this market with a trusted partner that has forged the way and proven success in a rapidly evolving field,” said Matthew Kreifels, vice president of sales and business development. “We are excited to take this powerful epidemiological surveillance tool and make it available to labs worldwide.”
