Overview

Consult with a Specialist

Enterobacteriaceae (EB), often used as indicators for hygiene process criteria, is a large family of gram-negative bacteria that encompasses some of the most well-known food pathogens like Salmonella, Cronobacter, or pathogenic E. coli. For thermal processed food or ingredients, this provides an indication of the efficiency of inactivation treatment, but also as a prevention of recontamination. Testing of total EB is based on the standard ISO 21528-1 method, which is labor intensive and requires at least 2 days for the screening of negative samples.

The method is intended for the detection of Enterobacteriaceae in infant formula and related raw ingredients as well as environmental samples. The method is also a complement to our iQ-Check Cronobacter Solution.

Due to the sensitivity and specificity of PCR, results can be obtained in as little as 3 hr following a single enrichment in non-selective buffered peptone water (3564684 and 3554179).

Highly Specific and Reliable

iQ-Check Enterobacteriaceae Kit uses an optimized system of primers and probes to ensure high specificity. It is designed as a multiplex reaction that includes an internal inhibition control that is amplified in parallel with the target DNA for a reliable result (negative result validation). The iQ-Check Free DNA Removal Solution completes and optimizes the method by removing free DNA from food and environmental samples.

Maximum Flexibility

Developed as an open and flexible system, the iQ-Check Enterobacteriaceae Kit can be used for up to 94 samples. Reactions can be run on low- or high-throughput Bio-Rad instruments, depending on the laboratory’s needs. Different iQ-Check Assays can be run in parallel on the same plate using the iQ-Check Prep Automation System.

A Complete Solution

Bio-Rad offers a complete solution of standardized reagents, such as enrichment media, PCR kits, confirmation agars, PCR detection systems, and software for automated analysis specific for each test.
