Innovative Food Quality & Safety Products
This kit is simple and rapid detection kit for foodborne pathogens utilizing immunochromatographic assay. Simple test procedure with simply dropping specimens of enrichment culture to a test strip. Rapid judgment of test results, by checking the reddish purple test line simply after 15 minutes from the start of assay. Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (E. coli), which has been reported in association with extensive food poisoning or deaths, induces symptoms by producing verotoxins (VTs). The verotoxins are broadly classifiedinto verotoxin type 1 (VT1) and verotoxin type 2 (VT2), which are known to have very strong toxicity.
In Japan, a number of serotypes have been detected such as O157 and O26. For these serotypes, test methods have already been providedthrough notification from the reguratory authority. For other E. coli serotypes, examination of verotoxins in food is effective in preventing enterohemorrhagic food poisoning. Furthermore, a verotoxin test should be performed if enterohemorrhagic E. coli is detected because verotoxin production is used to confirm enterohemorrhagic E. coli.
This product is a kit for detecting verotoxin using immunochromatography. With this kit, simple tests can be conducted rapidly to differentiate VT1 and VT2.
Features:
1.The simple one-step operation of the kit.
2. The test gives rapid results.
3. There is no need for special test equipment.
