Automated testing platform detects and confirms salmonella, E coli O157:H7, listeria monocytogenes and listeria spp in one operation
Visitors to the Foodtech, NEC, Birmingham, UK, 17-18 September 2003 will be able to make a one-to-one appointment with Oxoid to see how the DuPont Qualicon Bax system can bring time and cost saving benefits to their food pathogen testing.
Food manufacturers' and processors' products need to be released with total confidence, but with the short timescales involved in food production there is always a worry about potential recall and clean downs.
The Bax system takes away this worry.
Its automated testing platform detects and confirms salmonella, E coli O157:H7, listeria monocytogenes and listeria spp in one operation.
Detecting target bacteria present at very low levels, the Bax system finds only the target - even when there are high levels of competing organisms.
With large volume mixed batch testing capability, Bax is fast and easy to use.
Its genetics-based technology outperforms Elisa and culture methods and allows walk-away processing for lab efficiency.
Bax gives next day, yes/no results that do not require expert interpretation and no further testing is required.
