GDS E.coli O157:H7 Tq Detection Kit Pk 100

Application

The Genetic Detection System (GDS) for E. coli O157

Tq is an automated nucleic acid amplification system designed to detect the pathogenic E. coli O157

in foods, ingredients, and environmental samples.

Compatibility

Compatible with BioControl GDS.

Components

Each kit (100 tests) includes:

• E. coli O157
   
  Amplification Tubes Tq (0.2 mL)
• O157 Concentration Reagent
• Resuspension Buffer
• Tq Wash Solution

Features and Benefits

• Fast Results: Provides results in as little as 8 hours for 25 g samples and 10 hours for composite 375 g samples.
• Additional Confirmation: Positive samples can be confirmed for stx genes in 2 hours with the GDS Shiga Toxin Genes (O157) assay (PN 71005BC).
• Validated Samples: Validated for use with ground beef, beef trim, leafy greens, juices, and sprout irrigation water.
• Enhanced Specificity: Utilizes innovative PickPen® immunomagnetic separation (IMS) for added specificity and quick results.
• Simplified Preparation: Does not require heating blocks or reagent preparation.

General Description

The Assurance® GDS for E. coli O157

Tq is an automated nucleic acid amplification system for detecting E. coli O157

in food and environmental samples. The proprietary PickPen® IMS-based sample preparation quickly and effectively isolates E. coli O157

separating the pathogen from inhibitory materials to ensure valid PCR reactions across all sample types, including challenging ones. Assurance® GDS PCR technology offers enhanced specificity with highly specific primers and probes for accurate detection.
