Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. has announced the launch of SureTect PCR System that delivers test efficiencies for food safety laboratories that are testing for the most common bacterial pathogens. With the new system, results for all targets and matrix types can be obtained in less than 24 hours of the food sample being received, leading to faster food release.
The SureTect System combines a real-time PCR instrument with bespoke software and convenient pre-filled reagent components that together with a single PCR protocol for a range of common targets and sample types, streamline the test workflow.
Assays for Salmonella species and Listeria monocytogenes are available now. Assays for Listeria species and Escherichia coli O157:H7 will be released later this year with further tests already in development.
