Pathogen Environmental Testing

Environmental testing products need to be able to cope with heavily contaminated samples but still be able to distinguish any target pathogens present. With environmental monitoring in mind, we designed and developed our highly sensitive pathogen detection assays specifically for the food testing industry so they can be used for testing food production environments as well as the food itself. Manufacturers and their testing facilities can adopt either our Solus One solutions for next day detection or the market standard two step enrichment to fit your time-to-result requirements for your environmental monitoring program.

Each robust assay kit, combined with dedicated selective enrichment media, has been validated and certified to ISO 16140 and/or AOAC Performance Tested Method standards. Our outstanding Solus One Salmonella assay for next day detection has also been awarded AOAC Official Method of Analysis status. For a truly powerful pathogen detection system, pair our excellent assays with our automated liquid handling option to maximize your lab productivity and efficiency.
