Test kit for rapid analysis of Staphylococcus

 

Item Number: 01210014

Detection of Staphylococci in food samples

VIT® Staphylococcus unequivocally detects all Staphylococcus aureus strains as well as other Staphylococcus species. For instance, even Coagulase negative Staphylococcus aureus strains are detected safely and unequivocally. Only vital bacteria are detected. In comparison with conventional methods VIT® Staphylococcus allows time savings of one to three days. Analysis results will provide you with both Staphylococcus occurrence verification in your sample and whether they belong to S. aureus.

The analysis is easy to conduct – only few minutes hands-on time. The results are provided within 3 hours. Analysis is performed by using a fluorescence microscope. All essential expendable materials required for analysis are contained in the kit. Package size: 25 analyses.

Analysis can be performed with following samples:

  • Liquid enrichment (directly)
  • Food (short pre-enrichment)
  • Environmental samples (short pre-enrichment)
