General description

GDS PickPen^® Tips are the consumable accessories of the GDS PickPen^® device. Assurance^® GDS is an automated nucleic acid amplification system for the detection of pathogenic organisms in foods, ingredients, and environmental samples. As part of the sample preparation, the proprietary GDS PickPen^® is designed to transfer magnetic particles when working with Assurance® GDS pathogen detection kits. The incorporation of the GDS PickPen^® in the immunomagnetic separation (IMS) process improves the procedure by concentrating the target pathogen while decreasing the carryover of background microflora from a wide range of food matrices without compromising the sensitivity.
