Among STEC, E. coli O157:H7 is the most prominent serotype, however other serotypes are also potentially threatening to human health by expressing stx1 and stx2 (the Top6: O145, O121, O111, O103, O45 and O26).
The BACGene Mplex STEC SEROtype1 and STEC SEROtype2 assays provide materials for rapid serotyping of the Top6 non-O157 serotypes:
- BACGene Mplex STEC SEROtype1: Detection of O111, O103, O26 (in one multiplex reaction)
- BACGene Mplex STEC SEROtype2: Detection of O145, O121 and O45 (in one multiplex reaction)
The BACGene Mplex STEC SEROtype1 and STEC SEROtype2 assays are validated for use with the Agilent AriaMx™, Bio-Rad CFX96 Touch™* and CFX96 Touch™ Deep Well PCR platforms.
The kit is intended to be used by analytical laboratories and may also be applied for other purposes in the food product research and analysis field, e.g. microbial monitoring of production processes. The kit is not intended for clinical diagnostic and should therefore be regarded as “For Research Use Only”.
Kit components:
• 1x BACGene Mplex STEC SEROtype1 PCR plate (48 reactions), with predispensed master mix and PCR support grid. Store at -20°C ± 2°C and protect from light.
