General description

Rapid test for the detection of E.coli O157 in foods

SINGLEPATH^® E. coli O157 is an immunochromatographic rapid screening test based on gold-labeled antibodies. This lateral flow test is based on immune flow principle and is a convenient and simple-to-use, one-step device. This test provides a clear presence/absence results within 20 minutes after sample enrichment by avoiding the time-consuming and personnel intensive working steps. The lowest detection limit is regarded as one-colony forming unit of E. coli O157 (including H7) per 25 grams or ml of food sample. SINGLEPATH^® devices can be decontaminated by autoclave, bleach, etc. No additional equipment expenditure is needed. For optimized enrichment, our granulated culture media is recommended.
