BAX® System Real-Time PCR Assay for Vibrio
Vibrio is a persistent threat to producers (and consumers) of seafood, and is easily spread through coastal waters and brackish aquatic environments. Current culture methods are accurate but can take 3 to 5 days to get results. The BAX System Real-Time PCR Assay for Vibrio harnesses the power of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to get results in 24 hours, so you can detect and differentiate three distinct pathogenic species in one test, so you can take action without delaying product release to commerce.
Benefits
- Detects three distinct pathogen species
- Can be run with other BAX® System real-time assays
- Clear and reproducible results, independent of operator technique
- Minimal hands-on time, tableted PCR reagents and automated processing and analysis reduce operator error
- Pre-packaged PCR reagent tablets provide consistency, stablility and long shelf-life
- Up to 96 enriched samples processed in about one hour
- Clear, reproducible yes-or-no results for each Vibrio strain
- Excellent inclusivity/exclusivity for all three target species
- LIMS-compatible electronic data for easy storage, sharing and retrieval
Specifications
