Hygiena foodproof Enterobacteriaceae plus Cronobacter Detection Kit, Hybridization Probes (LC 2.0, 480) KIT230068

The foodproof Enterobacteriaceae plus Cronobacter Detection Kit is a validated real-time PCR assay for the simultaneous detection of Enterobacteriaceae and Cronobacter spp. in food and environmental samples. The kit uses hybridization probes and is compatible with Roche LightCycler 2.0 and LightCycler 480 instruments. It is MicroVal-certified, includes internal controls, and incorporates UNG technology to prevent carry-over contamination. Typical use cases include testing infant formula, infant cereals, probiotic products, ingredients and environmental monitoring samples.

Key Features:

• Technology: Real-time PCR with hybridization probes
• Detection targets: Enterobacteriaceae and Cronobacter spp.
• Instrument compatibility: Roche LightCycler 2.0 and LightCycler 480
• Fluorescence channels: FAM, VIC/HEX and ROX/Texas Red
• Limit of detection: 1–10 cells per 25/100 g sample; detection to 10^3–10^4 CFU/mL after enrichment
• Includes internal control and Uracil-N-Glycosylase (UNG) to prevent carry-over contamination
• MicroVal certified

Advantages:

• High sensitivity enabling detection of very low organism numbers to reduce risk of contaminated product release
• Rapid results and reduced hands-on time for faster decision making
• Broad compatibility with common real-time cyclers for easy integration into existing PCR workflows
• Internal control and UNG chemistry improve assay reliability and reduce false negatives
