From the supplier: Several test kits for the detection of food pathogens such as salmonella E. coli 0157:H7 and Listeria in foods are currently available in the market. The rapid detection products allow for fast results which was unheard of in the food industry before its introduction. The increasing number of product recalls has necessitated the use of rapid detection products by food manufacturers. Qualicon Inc's BAX pathogen detection test uses a technology based on polymerase chain reaction which differs from other products based on bioluminescence, culture media and immunoassay.
