Food Safety

Detection test kit of Campylobacter jejuni by using qPCR. Campylobacter jejuni is a species of bacteria commonly found in animal feces and is one of the most common causes of human gastroenteritis in the world. Food poisoning caused by Campylobacter species can be severely debilitating but is rarely life-threatening. The bacteria normally inhabit the intestinal tract of warm-blooded animals such as poultry and cattle and are frequently detected in foods derived from these animals.

Campylobacter spp. detection test kit by using qPCR. The genus Campylobacter comprises a diverse group of Gram-negative bacteria, which colonize the mucosal surfaces of the intestinal tracts, oral cavities, or urogenital tracts of a wide range of bird and mammal hosts. Currently, the genus Campylobacter contains more than 15 species but the most commonly isolated pathogenic species are C. jejuni, C. coli and C. fetus. C. jejuni and C. coli are responsible for human gastroenteritis and C. fetus usually causes abortions in cattle and sheep.

Clostridium perfringens detection test kit by using qPCR. Formerly known as C. welchii, or Bacillus welchii. C. perfringens is one of the most common causes of food poisoning, by poorly prepared meat. Persons infected develop diarrhea and abdominal cramps. Also, it is the first causative agent of gas gangrene.

Detection test kit of the 4 major toxins from Clostridium perfringens (alpha, beta, epsilon and iota) by using qPCR. Clostridium perfringens is a ubiquitous pathogen that produces many toxins and hydrolytic enzymes related to different diseases. This bacterium has 5 different toxin types (named A, B, C, D and E) and 4 major toxins (named Alpha, Beta, Epsilon and Iota).

Cronobacter sakazakii detection test kit by using qPCR. Cronobacter sakazakii (formerly Enterobacter sakazakii) has been found in wastewater and a variety of dry foods, including powdered infant formula, skimmed milk powder, herbal teas, and starches. In infants, it can cause bacteremia, meningitis, and necrotizing enterocolitis. The bacterium is ubiquitous and can be isolated from a wide range of environments and foods.

The Real Time PCR detection Kit Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Triplex (Escherichia coli Shiga toxin 1, Shiga toxin 2 & Intimine (eae)) comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Escherichia coli Shiga toxin 1, Shiga toxin 2 & Intimine (eae) detection by using multiplexed qPCR.

Detection test kit of Escherichia coli O157:H7 by using qPCR. Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an enterohemorrhagic strain of the bacterium Escherichia coli and a cause of illness through food. Infection may lead to hemorrhagic diarrhea, and to kidney failure. Transmission is via the fecal-oral route, and most illness has been through undercooked, contaminated ground beef or ground pork being eaten.

Detection test kit of Foodborne Poisoning (Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes and shiga toxins 1 and 2) by using qPCR. Foodborne poisoning is any illness resulting from food contaminated with a disease-causing agent such as pathogenic bacteria, viruses, or parasites. The foodborne illness usually arises from improper handling, preparation, or food storage. Good hygiene practices before, during, and after food preparation can reduce the chances of contracting an illness. The action of monitoring food, to ensure that it will not cause foodborne illness, is known as food safety. As bacteria are a common cause of foodborne illness, there are three main targets controlled by food safety normative: Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, and more recently the Shiga toxigenic group of Escherichia coli (STEC). Shiga toxins have many names, which can be used interchangeably (shiga toxins, shiga-like toxins, cytotoxins, verocytotoxins, verotoxins). STEC live in the guts of ruminant animals, including cattle, goats, sheep, deer, and elk.

Detection test kit of Foodborne Poisoning (Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Shiga toxin 1 Escherichia coli, Shiga toxin 2 Escherichia coli and eae Escherichia coli) by using qPCR. Foodborne poisoning is any illness resulting from food contaminated with a disease-causing agent such as pathogenic bacteria, viruses, or parasites. The action of monitoring food, to ensure that it will not cause foodborne illness, is known as food safety. As bacteria are a common cause of foodborne illness, there are three main targets controlled by food safety normative: Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes and more recently the Shiga toxigenic group of Escherichia coli (STEC).

Gluten detection test kit by using qPCR. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder associated with an intolerance to gluten proteins mainly present in wheat, barley, and rye. Methods are required to detect the presence of gluten contamination in food samples.

Listeria innocua detection test kit by using qPCR. Listeria innocua is harmless to other organisms. It lacks the 10-kb virulence locus, present in L. monocytogenes, that is needed for pathogenicity. It is widely found in the environment (such as soil) and food sources. Can survive in extreme pH and temperature, as well as high salt concentration.

Listeria ivanovii detection test kit by using qPCR. Listeria ivanovii it behaves like L. monocytogenes but is found almost exclusively in ruminants (mainly sheep). Infection with L. ivanovii can lead to septicemic disease with enteritis, neonatal sepsis and even abortion. Pregnant ruminants are therefore most at risk. Human zoonosis is described but extremely rare.

Detection test kit of the species Listeria monocytogenes by using qPCR. Due to Listeria monocytogenes pathogenicity cuases meningitis in newborns (acquired transvaginally), pregnant mothers are often advised not to eat soft cheeses such as Brie, Camembert, feta, and fresh white cheese, which may be contaminated with and permit growth of L. monocytogenes. It is the third-most-common cause of meningitis in newborns.

The Real Time PCR detection Kit Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp. Duplex comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp. detection by using multiplexed qPCR.

Foodborne pathogen control allows for advance the results in a single working day. The time of each step has been reduced and the procedure has been simplified and optimized. Easy, safe and fast.

The Real Time PCR detection Kit Panel Cyanotoxin Genes (Microcystine toxin genes mycB and mycE) comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Microcystine toxin genes mcyB and mcyE detection by using qPCR.
