dc.description.abstractTracking genomic sequences as microbial biomarkers in wastewater has been used to determine community prevalence of infectious diseases, contributing to public health surveillance programs worldwide. Here, we report upon a low-cost, rapid, and user-friendly paper microfluidic platform for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and influenza detection, using loop-mediated isothermal amplification, with signal read using a mobile phone camera. Sample-to-answer results were collected in less than 1.5 h, providing rapid multiplexed detection of viruses in wastewater, with a detection limit of <20 copies mL−1. The device was subsequently used for on-site testing of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater samples from four quarantine hotels at London Heathrow Airport, showing comparable results to those obtained using polymerase chain reaction. This sensing platform, which enables rapid and localized testing without requiring samples to be sent to centralized laboratories, provides a potentially important public health tool for pandemic preparedness, with a variety of future wastewater surveillance applications in community settings.
