SARS-CoV-2 (a type of coronavirus) is the causal organism of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The persistence and stability of this virus in the indoor environment is an important aspect for the detection and spread of COVID-19. Environmental surface testing of SARS-CoV-2 is critical for risk assessment, infection prevention and control measures.

Why Test for COVID?

As our organizations reopen, it’s our responsibility to mitigate the risk to our people.

Our students, staff, and patrons depend on it. So do our reputations.

COVID Environmental Testing helps validate that your organization’s implementation of CDC, WHO, and ASHRAE guidelines are effective and that custodial and housekeeping resources are performing to expectations. 

These groups recommend: 

1. Wearing face coverings and social distancing where possible
2. Increasing disinfection cleaning frequency and methods
3. Optimizing air change rates, using increased filtration and outside air ventilation
   

The COVID Environmental Test Kit provides your organization the assurances needed to help set your people at ease, knowing that you’ve got their backs and are taking serious measures to keep them safe.

Coronavirus Environmental Test Kit

The Coronavirus Environmental Test is designed to determine virus presence and persistence on hard surfaces. Especially frequently touched surfaces like door handles, elevator buttons, desktops, computers, phones, copy machines and many others. It is also ideal for frequently traveled areas like lobbies, hallways, offices, break rooms, bathrooms and more.

These all inclusive do-it-yourself test kits give you the ability to collect samples from frequently used surfaces and areas that are then sent to an accredited lab who provides genetic testing and reporting on the presence of the virus.

Coronavirus environmental testing is helpful in the investigation of environmental transmission of COVID-19. It is crucial for surveillance and risk mitigation in commercial, educational, healthcare, industrial and public service facilities.

IMPORTANT: Samples MUST be received by the laboratory within 24-72 hours after the samples are collected.

COLLECTED SAMPLES TIME SENSITIVE: The padded envelope containing the collected samples and chain of custody must be sent to the laboratory via an expedited mail service.

TURNAROUND TIME: Regular Turnaround Time is 3-5 business days. For faster turnaround time please contact the laboratory.

How the Test Works

Environmental surface samples are collected using an aseptic swab with a synthetic tip that is extracted into a lysate buffer vial. These collected samples need to be received by The laboratory at WTI within 72-hours. The samples are then analyzed utilizing RT-qPCR technology for either a positive (present) or negative (not present) result.

Results are precise, consistent and accurate based on the RNA gene expression of the virus. Finally, WTI laboratory services sends a user friendly report that’s easy to understand and helpful in providing assurances or determining next steps depending on the results.
