DuPont BAX System certified by AOAC for detecting pathogenic E. coli (STEC)
The DuPont BAX System has been certified by the AOAC Research Institute as a Performance Tested MethodSM (PTM) for detecting Shiga toxin-producing E.coli (STEC) in beef trim and ground beef.
“With this certification, our entire portfolio of BAX System assays for three important foodborne pathogens – E coli, Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes – has been validated by AOAC, “ said Doris Engesser-Sudlow, global director for molecular diagnostics, DuPont Nutrition & Health. “This means that food companies can use one molecular-based platform for those pathogen testing needs, with confidence in accurate results that are certified as reliable and reproducible.”
