Application

Assurance^® GDS Shiga Toxin Genes (O157) Tq is suitable for the detection of Shiga Toxin producing E. coli O157:H7 in foods, ingredients, and environmental samples.

Compatibility

BioControl GDS

Components

Shiga Toxin Genes Amplification Tubes Tq O157 Concentration Reagent Resuspension Buffer Tq Wash Solution

Features and Benefits

Sequential approach to detecting Top STEC. Following sample preparation with IMS against the Top 6 or Top 7 O groups, samples are analyzed for the presence of eae with the GDS Top 6 or 7 STEC (eae) assay. Positive samples are subsequently analyzed for Shiga Toxin genes with the Assurance^® GDS Shiga Toxin Genes (Top 6 or Top 7) assay Confirm Assurance^® GDS E. coli O157:H7 positives samples with Assurance^® GDS Shiga Toxin Genes (O157) assay Single-step 10-18 h enrichment in mEHEC; enrichment media common to all BioControl methods for E.coli O157:H7, Shiga Toxin genes, and Top STEC

General description

The Assurance^® GDS Shiga Toxin Genes (O157) Tq is an automated nucleic acid amplification system for the detection of Shiga Toxin producing E. coli O157:H7. The Shiga Toxin Genes (O157) assay is designed for use in conjunction with Assurance^® GDS E. coli O157:H7 Tq assay to detect shiga toxin genes (stx1 and stx2) present in presumptive positive E. coli O157:H7 samples.
