Food Safety Testing
The current technology utilized in food testing protocols
requires an enrichment step of 24 hours, and an additional period of
hours, or days to confirm the presence of a target microorganism,
usually 48 to 72 hours to obtain a result.
FluoroQuik assays, may require a short growth phase (less than 6 hours) and can detect one cfu of bacteria per sample – Less than one work shift. However, depending on the bacteria being identified, and the amount of bacteria present, the testing time may require only minutes and no growth phase!
FluoroQuik assays can be utilized for the detection of
Salmonella, e-coli including 0157H, Listeria, Campylobacter, and
other organisms of concern to the food industry.
