Using Agilent Certified Pre-Owned Instruments to Research the Prediction of Covid-19 Agilent Case Study: Ottawa Wastewater Success Story What if predicting where and when a COVID-19 outbreak would occur were possible? That's exactly what Denina Simmons is researching at Ontario Tech University in Canada. Not just project the virus's trajectory but forecast where and when to expect a wave of positive cases. The assistant professor of biology analyzed wastewater samples from across the Durham region in Ontario for traces of SARS-CoV-2 in an effort to determine if the virus that causes COVID-19 is detectable and could possibly predict COVID spikes in the population. Early results from her work showed a spike in the virus's presence in wastewater approximately 10 days before an ide
