BAX System PCR Assay for Genus Listeria
Hygiena | BAX® System PCR Assay for Genus Listeria
The BAX System PCR assay for Genus Listeria can help food companies monitor their environment and products for contamination with Listeria, which is often used as an indicator organism for other pathogens. Flexible enrichment choices provide environmental results as soon as next-day.
Benefits
- Next-day results with BAX System media for Listeria
- Can also use non-proprietary enrichment media
- Automated DNA-based analysis for objective results
- Detects 10^5 cfu/mL in enriched samples
- Tableted reagents reduce operator error
- Closed-cap system avoids amplicon contamination in the lab
- Up to 96 samples processed in 3.5 hours
- Optimized media for environmentals combines a single enrichment step with shorter incubation time (24 hours for swabs; 28 hours for sponges)
- Standard media can also be used to test food and environmentals after 48 hours enrichments - validated on frankfurters, salmon, cheese and spinach
