BAX® System Cronobacter - PCR Assay for Infant Formula Cronobacter Testing

The BAX® System Cronobacter PCR Assay enables rapid Cronobacter detection in infant formula, milk powder, and environmental samples. This Health Canada MLFP-27 validated method delivers same-day results, providing Cronobacter sakazakii testing in approximately 3.5 hours after enrichment with detection sensitivity as low as 10^5 CFU/mL. The streamlined PCR tablet format features integrated internal controls that validate each run while minimizing manual handling errors. Validated for infant formula, milk powder, soy ingredients, and environmental surfaces, this Cronobacter testing solution supports quality assurance programs in food manufacturing facilities and testing laboratories.
