DuPont Qualicon Provides Next-Day Listeria Results
 |
| These BAX® System assays from DuPont Qualicon provide next-day results for detecting Listeria. |
Two BAX® System assays from DuPont Qualicon have received certification from the
AOAC Research Institute as next-day methods for detecting Listeria in food and environmental samples.
The BAX® System 24E Assays for detecting Listeria species, an indicator organism, and Listeria monocytogenes, a pathogen, were developed in collaboration with Oxoid Ltd. Validation studies on hot dogs, spinach, cooked shrimp, queso fresco cheese and stainless steel showed that the BAX® System performed as well or better than traditional culture methods and with much quicker time to result.
Food processing companies around the world rely on the BAX® system to detect pathogens or other organisms in raw ingredients, finished products and environmental samples.
