Description

General description

Assurance GDS^®, genetic detection system, for E. coli O157:H7 Tq is an automated nucleic acid amplification system for the detection of E. colii O157:H7 in food and environmental samples. The proprietary PickPen^® IMS-based sample preparation procedure quickly and effectively captures E. coli O157:H7, 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 E. coli O157:H7.

Application

GDS, genetic detection system, for E. coli O157:H7 Tq is an automated nucleic acid amplification system for the detection of pathogenic E. coli O157:H7 in foods, ingredients, and environmental samples.

Features and Benefits

• Results available as fast as 8 hours for 25 g samples / 10 hours for composite 375 g samples.
• Positive samples can be confirmed for stx genes in an additional 2 hours with GDS Shiga Toxin Genes (O157) assay (PN 71005BC).
• Validated for ground beef, beef trim, leafy greens, juices, and sprout irrigation water.
• Features innovative PickPen^® immunomagnetic separation (IMS) for additional specificity and fast time to results.
• Simplified sample prep does not require heating blocks or preparation of reagents.

Components

Each 576 test kit includes:

• E. coli O157:H7 Amplification Tubes Tq (0.1 mL)
• O157 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.
