Description

General description

GDS Salmonella Tq Automation Kit is an automated nucleic acid amplification system for the detection of Salmonella in food and environmental samples. The proprietary PickPen^® IMS sample preparation procedure quickly and effectively captures Salmonella, separating the pathogen from inhibitory background materials and ensuring valid PCR reactions for all sample types, including challenging food and environmental samples. Assurance^® GDS PCR technology provides two additional levels of specificity using both highly specific primers and probes to ensure accurate detection of Salmonella.

Application

GDS for Salmonella Tq is an automated nucleic acid amplification system for the detection of Salmonella in foods, ingredients, and environmental samples.

Features and Benefits

• Next day results for foods utilizing a single enrichment media
• Harmonized enrichment medias for testing samples for other pathogen targets in addition to Salmonella.
• Validated for raw beef, raw pork, raw ground turkey, poultry carcass rinse, raw shrimp, non fat dry milk, liquid milk, egg, spices, peanut butter, pasta, stainless steel, rubber, concrete, among others.
• Features innovative PickPen^® immunomagnetic separation (IMS) for additional specificity and faster time to results
• Simplified sample preparation, does not require heating blocks or preparation of reagents

Components

Each 576ATM (for PPMX Automation) kit includes:

• Salmonella Amplification Tubes Tq (0.2 mL)
• Salmonella Concentration Reagent
