General description

Assurance® GDS is an advanced genetic detection system for food pathogens. EHEC ID for E.coli O157:H7 Tq is a secondary automated nucleic acid amplification system for the detection of pathogenic E. coli O157:H7. Assurance® GDS utilizes a proprietary PickPen® IMS-based sample preparation procedure to quickly and effectively capture organisms belonging to E.coli O157:H7 prior to genetic analysis for the associated pathogenicity genes.

Application

PCR, Immunomagnetic Separation (IMS)
Assurance® GDS EHEC ID for E.coli O157:H7 Tq is designed to follow GDS E. coli O157:H7 Tq assay (PN 71007BC) to detect pathogenic E. coli O157:H7 in raw beef, finely textured beef (FTB), and carcass cloths. Additionally, Assurance® GDS EHEC ID can be used to confirm isolated colonies from presumptive positive samples for E. coli O157:H7.

Features and Benefits

  • Designed specifically to follow the GDS E. coli O157:H7 Tq assay
  • Results available as fast as 12 hours for composite 375 g samples
  • Single harmonized proprietary mEHEC enrichment
  • Validated for raw ground beef, raw beef trim, finely textured beef (FTB), and carcass cloths
  • Features innovative PickPen® immunomagnetic separation (IMS) for additional specificity and fast time to results

Other Notes

Each 52 test kit includes:

  • EHEC ID Amplification Tubes
  • O157 Concentration Reagent
  • Resuspension Buffer Tq
  • Wash solution
