qPCR Detection Kits for Food and Water Pathogens
Keep Your Food and Water Safe Through Fast and Easy Detection of Pathogens.
qPCR Detection Kits for Food and Water Pathogens offer a fast and easy solution to detect pathogens within a few hours rather than a few days when compared to traditional culture methods.
Overview of qPCR Detection Kits for Food and Water Pathogens
The qPCR Detection Kits for Food and Water Pathogens are for the highly sensitive and specific detection of pathogens to at least 100 copies of target. With results in just over 90 minutes, the kits allow for rapid food pathogen screening.
The kits are available in the Standard and Advanced Kit format for use on open platform. As the kits come lyophilised, they can be shipped quickly and easily at room temperature to the testing site.
Key Features of Our qPCR Detection Kits:
- Rapid Results: Receive accurate pathogen detection results in just over 90 minutes, providing a timely response to potential risks.
- High Sensitivity: Our kits boast high sensitivity, capable of detecting pathogens at levels as low as <100 copies of the target, ensuring thorough screening.
- Ease of Use: Designed for simplicity, our kits offer an easy-to-follow protocol for both the Standard and Advanced Kit formats on open platforms and the Easy Kit format for use on the q16 instrument.
- Versatility: With a broad portfolio of over 40 detection kits, our product range covers an extensive array of pathogens found in various foods and water sources, including bacteria, fungi, parasites, viruses, and more.
- Lyophilised for Convenience: Shipped in lyophilised form, our kits can be easily transported at room temperature, allowing for quick and hassle-free delivery to testing sites.
- Comprehensive Pathogen Coverage: From undercooked meats and vegetables to waterborne pathogens, our kits cater to diverse needs, ensuring a thorough examination of potential risks.
