E coli 0157 detection
Automated system to detect E coli 0157:H7 in meat and poultry products is now available in Europe and Australia
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. Request a free brochure from Oxoid ...
