Untap provides a COVID-19 monitoring service
to reduce transmission in your community
We provide an early warning system, detecting the presence of carriers whether they are
  • 1. Symptomatic
  • 2. Pre-symptomatic: Up to a week before symptoms
  • 3. Asymptomatic
Daily monitoring enables the appropriate response to the measured risk

Science

PCR testing an entire community
without a single swab
watch video
Wastewater surveillance can detect COVID-19, or any other virus, to understand community prevalence and to identify rising and falling case rates. Using PCR technology, wastewater surveillance can achieve 96% positive detection rates (sensitive) and 100% negative detection rates (specific). Unlike blood or saliva tests, where individuals must give time and submit to invasive testing procedures, wastewater monitoring is 100% passive, and the data is already anonymised.

FAQs

Where is wastewater surveillance used?

▼

The UK government used wastewater surveillance as an early warning system to detect local outbreaks across the country. This data showed a spike in COVID-19 on the South Coast despite relatively low numbers of people seeking tests.

How does wastewater surveillance work?

▼

Wastewaster from the building is aggregated over the day and PCR tested onsite.
This gives the COVID-19 prevalence in the community.
Same day COVID-19 data.

What communities can you monitor?

▼

We can monitor any community that live or work in a common building

When will Untap be available?

▼

How accurate is wastewater surveillance?

▼

Wastewater surveillance can detect one infected person in 10,000 healthy people

How much does it cost?

▼

Onsite community testing costs less than lateral flow testing the whole community with the same frequency and is more accurate
