The range of Merck's rapid tests of the lateral flow type has now been completed. With Singlepath Listeria you can exclude the presence of listeria within 20 minutes after enrichment. For you this can mean a head start of two days in bringing your products to market without making concessions as regards safety standards.
Food-mediated infections are a matter of worldwide concern that is increasing day by day. A broad spectrum of analytical measures is required to comply with the regulatory requirements. With its range of rapid tests for the detection of salmonellae, Campylobacter, E. coli 0157 and verotoxins VT1 and VT2, Merck offers reliable and cost-effective tools for the determination of the most relevant pathogens.
All of the above tests are based on the immunoflow principle (gold-labeled immunosorbent assay). Through the use of high-quality, gold-labelled antibodies, these tests match conventional methods as regards sensitivity and specificity. However, the results are obtained by far more rapidly: results are available within 20 minutes in all of these five tests.
Thanks to specifically adapted enrichment media you no longer need to spare time for preparatory measures. They also guarantee precise test results. Making use of our many years of experience with the classical enrichment media, we at Merck have exactly adapted the various broths. Thus, you obtain the same level of reliability and safety with each and every test.
Merck's rapid tests for the detection of pathogens offer the following advantages:
* Safe unambiguous test results.
* Fast results available within 20 minutes.
* Simple apply sample and read off test result.
* Economical reduced lab costs, less time to market.
