BAX System PCR Assay for E. coli O157-H7 MP
Hygiena | BAX® System PCR Assay for E. coli O157-H7 MP
This multiplex (MP) assay includes several targets on the E. coli O157:H7 genome for greater assurance that new, unusual or modified varieties of this complex organism are detected.
Benefits
- Automated DNA-based analysis instead of subjective plate counts
- Specificity ≥ 99%
- Reliably detects 104 cfu/mL in enriched samples
- Tableted PCR reagents reduce operator error
- Closed-cap system avoids amplicon contamination in the lab
- Designed for efficient workflow and ease of use
- PCR processing completes in 3.5 hours with the standard MP protocol (or about 2.5 hours with MP Express for beef)
