Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7 is a strain of bacteria that can cause severe food poisoning and gastroenteritis in humans. It is commonly found in contaminated food, particularly undercooked beef and raw vegetables. Symptoms of infection include bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever, and in severe cases, it can lead to kidney failure. E. coli O157:H7 is a significant public health concern and the study of its interaction with the human digestive system is an important area of research in microbiology and food safety. The kit is based on a PCR reaction for the detection of E. coli O157:H7 in food 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 Shiga Toxin Genes (O157) assay (PN 71005BC).
• Validated for ground beef, beef trim, leafy greens, juices, and sprout irrigation water.
• Features innovative 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 100 test kit includes:
• E. coli O157:H7 Amplification Tubes Tq (0.2 mL)
• O157 Concentration Reagent
• Resuspension Buffer Tq
• Wash Solution
