Bacterial Toxins

Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a gram negative anaerobe commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded animals. Some E. coli sero-types cause
food-borne illness that may result in product recalls. The USDA and EU
have specific recommendations for the control and monitoring of E.coli in
meats and other food products (i.e. EU Commission Regulation #209/2013,
USDA MLG Chapter 5). Whether your needs are food safety compliance, quality assurance or research, our E. coli magnetic separation beads and E. coli latex agglutination test kits provide affordable solutions for a wide-range of applications to purify and detect E. coli O157, other STECs (Shiga Toxin-Producing E. coli) and Shiga Toxins.

We serve the meat testing market with highly sensitive immuno-magnetic
separation (IMS) beads and latex agglutination test (LAT) kits for the
purification and detection of E. coli O157:H7, the “Big Six” non-O157
STECs, and E. coli O104:H4. Our products are written into the USDA FSIS
Microbiological Testing Guidelines and the official method for meat testing in
Brazil. We also offer affinity purified monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies
with excellent specificity and sensitivity for E. coli O157:H7 and other STECs.
