BAX® System PCR Assays for Shigella
BAX® System PCR Assays for Shigella
Shigella naturally shares large portions of its’ genetic sequence with many other pathogenic bacteria and is very easy to cross-contaminate with very low dose response required. This cross-contamination primarily occurs from poor hygiene practices during food production and handling in retail environments. Utilizing the Real-time PCR assay for Shigella can quickly eliminate negative samples and reduce presumptive positives seen in conventional methods due to the specificity and inclusivity of serotypes. Common implicated serotypes including S. sonnei, S. flexneri, S. boydii, and S. dysenteriae are easily detected to help you identify potential contamination quickly.

BAX® System PCR Assays for Yeast & Mold
Yeast and mold cause various degrees of deterioration and decomposition of many food products. Although these bacteria do not cause many human illnesses, they are spore formers that can release toxins once ingested. Moreover, yeast and molds can negatively impact the shelf life and appeal of any product, thus causing economic losses. Compared to conventional methods that take up to 7 days, the BAX® System PCR assay for Yeast and Mold provides results in two days for enriched products, and same-day results when product is direct tested. The protocols associated with this assay are customizable for actionable thresholds, proving the true power and robustness of PCR technology.

- Workstation software is user-friendly, providing sophisticated data analysis that eliminates the need for subjective interpretation of results.
Gain Control of Your Environment
RiboPrint™ patterns characterize environmental isolates, pathogens, spoilage organisms, control strains, beneficial organisms or any bacteria that are important to quality control professionals in pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, and industrial microbiology. Beyond reliable taxonomic identification, the RiboPrinter® System distinguishes individual strains, providing the granularity of information needed to track, trend, and control your environment.
Identify, Characterize, and Trace
To control unwanted bacteria, you need to know what the organism is and how it entered your process or population. Now you can get the answers to these important questions automatically and simultaneously.
More Than 16S Sequencing
Rather than just analyzing the region that encodes the 16s rRNA sequence, the RiboPrinter® System investigates the regions encoding the 5S, 16S, and 23S sequences, as well as the spacer regions and flanking genes on either side. This rich depth of information is what allows for highly precise differentiation among strains of the same species, even those with the same 16S sequence.
Fragments from each sample form a banding pattern according to size.

StatMedia Soluble Packets
BAX® System MP Media in Convenient, Water-Soluble Packets
These easy-to-use packets provide the same performance as a powder but without the dust or ergonomic issues of handling bulk media. Other benefits include less hands-on time, less waste from expired batches of prepared broth, and reduced need for autoclaving. Packets are wrapped in a water-soluble film made from a polyvinyl alcohol resin. In warm water, the film dissolves within seconds. Because the soluble packets are gamma-irradiated, the prepared broth does not require autoclaving when used within 3-4 hours. For longer storage, broth can be autoclaved and then refrigerated for up to two weeks.
