Warnex first to launch quantitative PCR test for food testing
Quantification of Campylobacter Within 3 Hours Using Real-Time PCR
Warnex's quantitative Campylobacter test will be commercially available in April 2006.
Warnex also announced today that three more of its tests have been granted "Laboratory Procedure" status by Health Canada, following independent validations by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). These tests include one for E. coli O157:H7 and two semi-quantitative tests for generic E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. These semi-quantitative tests not only detect the presence of the bacteria, but also indicate whether they are present beyond a user-defined threshold.
