Food Safety

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.

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.

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.

Detection test kit of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis species by using qPCR. Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis (also known as S. Enteritidis) is an important human pathogen that causes salmonellosis in humans. S. Enteritidis is passed to humans mainly through the consumption of contaminated poultry meat and eggs. Infection caused by S. enterica is the second most common cause of bacterial gastroenteritis (food poisoning).

Detection by using qPCR of species of the genus Salmonella. Salmonella cause illnesses such as typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, and foodborne illnesses. Salmonella infections are zoonotic and can be transferred between humans and nonhuman animals. Many infections are due to the ingestion of contaminated food. Salmonella enterica subsp.enterica serovar Typhi can cause serious illness because of a special virulence factor and a capsule protein (virulence antigen). Salmonella typhi is adapted to humans and does not occur in other animals.

Shiga toxin 1 Escherichia coli detection test kit by using qPCR. Shiga toxin is a family of related toxins with two major groups, Stx1 and Stx2. Shiga toxigenic group of Escherichia coli (STEC), which includes serotypes O157:H7, O104:H4, and other enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC). Shiga toxins have many names, which can be used interchangeably (shiga toxins, shiga-like toxins, cytotoxins, verocytotoxins, verotoxins). STEC lives in the guts of ruminant animals, including cattle, goats, sheep, deer, and elk. The major source of human illnesses is cattle, where STEC generally does not make animals become sick.

Shiga toxin 2 Escherichia coli detection test kit by using qPCR. Shiga toxin is a family of related toxins with two major groups, Stx1 and Stx2. The Shiga toxigenic group of Escherichia coli (STEC), which includes serotypes O157:H7, O104:H4, and other enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC). Shiga toxins have many names, which can be used interchangeably (shiga toxins, shiga-like toxins, cytotoxins, verocytotoxins, verotoxins). STEC lives in the guts of ruminant animals, including cattle, goats, sheep, deer, and elk. The major source of human illnesses is cattle, where STEC generally does not make animals become sick.

Detection test kit of Vibrio cholerae strains by using qPCR. Some strains of V.cholerae cause the disease cholera.
