BAX® System PCR Testing
Rapid food safety you can rely on.
Food companies, service labs, and government regulators around the world rely on Hygiena's BAX® System to detect unwanted bacteria in raw ingredients, finished products, and environmental samples.
Introduced more than 20 years ago, the BAX® System was the first DNA-based detection method for the food industry. Now, the automated, user friendly system backed by decades of real customer data is even easier to operate, utilizing real-time and/or traditional uses Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assays, tableted reagents, and optimized media to minimize hands-on time and free technicians for other tasks.
