Hygiena’s BAX uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect unwanted bacteria in raw materials, finished products, and environmental samples. It is used by food companies, service laboratories, and government regulatory agencies around the world.
This automated, user-friendly system is easy to operate and utilizes real-time or endpoint PCR, tablet-form reagents, and optimized media to streamline the testing process. The system is currently the leading PCR in ISO.
While other methods rely on the physical or biochemical properties of their targets, and detects PCR DNA PCR . The target is highly stable and unaffected by environmental stresses that can often impact other types of detection methods. Through PCR , carefully designed “primers” PCR specific genetic sequences unique to the target organisms, eliminating the risk of costly falsepositive results. The system combines this technology with clear “yes” or “no” results and easy-to-read amplification profiles, without subjective elements or the need for expert interpretation.
