Each 576ATM (for PPMX Automation) kit includes: E. coli O157:H7 Amplification Tubes Tq (0.2 mL) O157 Concentration ReagentFor each 576ATM kit, the following are also necessary and should be ordered separately: 61031BC Wash Solution Kit 34724BC Resuspension Buffer Tq

Features and Benefits

Results available as fast as 8 hours for 25 g samples / 10 hours for composite 375 g samples Positive samples can be confirmed for stx genes in an additional 2 hours with GDS Shiga Toxin Genes (O157) assay (PN 71005BC). Validated for raw ground beef, raw beef trim, frozen finely textured beef, orange juice, apple juice, fresh vegetables, sprout process water, carcass cloths, among others Features innovative PickPen^® immunomagnetic separation (IMS) for additional specificity and fast time to results Simplified sample prep does not require heating blocks or preparation of reagents

General description

GDS E. coli O157:H7 Tq Automation Kit is an automated nucleic acid amplification system for the detection of E. coli O157:H7 in food and environmental samples. The proprietary PickPen^® IMS-based sample preparation procedure quickly and effectively captures E. coli O157:H7, separating the pathogen from inhibitory background materials and ensuring valid PCR reactions for all sample types, including challenging food and environmental samples. Assurance^® GDS PCR technology provides two additional levels of specificity using both highly specific primers and probes to ensure accurate detection of E. coli O157:H7.
