Description

General description

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

Application

GDS, genetic detection system, 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
• Harmonized single 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.
• Utilizes the innovative PickPen^® immunomagnetic separation (IMS) device for additional specificity and faster time to results
• Simplified sample prep does not require heating blocks or preparation of reagents
• Proprietary Rotor-Gene^® Q cycler is a rotory-based cycler that ensures uniform heating and cooling of all samples

Components

Each 576 test kit includes:

• Salmonella Amplification Tubes Tq (0.1 mL)
• Salmonellaa Concentration Reagent
• Resuspension Buffer Tq
• Wash Solution

NOTE: The 100 kit includes standard 0.2 mL amp tubes whereas the 576 kit includes smaller 0.1 mL amp tubes.  The 576 kit requires additional equipment tools to process per the kit Directions for Use.
