Food processors and associated laboratories can use the BAX® System as a quick and reliable method for detecting Shigella in a variety of foods. This real-time PCR
assay was designed to report yes/no results for Shigella at concentrations as low as 103 cfu/mL after enrichment. With a processing time of approximately 60 minutes in the BAX® System Q7 instrument, the method returns results comparable to culture methods, but with a significantly faster time to result. BAX® Systems are designed for use by qualified lab personnel who follow standard microbiology laboratory practice, including the safe handling and disposal of potentially pathogenic materials
