Duopath^™ Verotoxin Rapid test for the detection of verotoxins in pathogenic E.coli

The Duopath^™ Verotoxins GLISA test is an immunochromatographic rapid test intended to be used in food-analysing laboratories for the qualitative detection of Verotoxins (Shiga-like toxins) 1 and 2 from Verotoxinogenic (including E. coli O157:H7) isolated from food enrichments using FDA, USDA or other food enrichment methods. This test has been validated and received AOAC approval for detection of Verotoxins 1 and 2 from isolated Verotoxin-producing E. coli (including E. coli O157:H7). Duopath^™ Verotoxin is also intended to be used in clinical laboratories for the qualitative identification of Verotoxins 1 and 2 (Shiga-like toxins 1 and 2) produced by E. coli isolated in cultures derived from clinical stool specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by enterohemorrhagic E. coli infections.
