Products
Multiplex real-time PCR kits for pathogen detection
Ready-to-use multiplex qPCR kits for simultaneous detection and identification of multiple foodborne pathogens in a single reaction (examples include 2-plex, 3-plex and 4-plex configurations).
Multiplex PCR kits for spoilage organism detection
Multiplex qPCR kits designed to detect a broad panel of spoilage bacteria, yeasts and molds (over 50 targets reported for some panels).
Water indicator multiplex PCR kits
Multiplex qPCR kits for detection of waterborne indicator organisms used for water monitoring.
Enrichment media and growth activators
Dehydrated and ready-to-use selective and universal enrichment media (including Buffered Peptone Water) and growth activators to improve recovery of target organisms.
DNA extraction kits and automated extraction solutions
Extraction kits and reagent solutions optimized for enriched food samples and automated extraction platforms; available in plate and tube formats.
Sampling and transport kits with neutralizing medium and QR tracking
Surface swab devices with neutralizing transport medium for post-sanitization sampling and printed QR codes to link physical samples with digital records.
