Hygiena™ Receives AOAC Certification for the
BAX® System Real-time PCR Assay Suite

Hygiena has announced it received extensions to its AOACResearch Institute validation for the BAX® System Real-time PCR
Assay Suite for STEC for two additional matrices: 25 g flour and
25 g ground beef. AOAC-RI validated the assay as equivalent to
the reference culture method for detecting shiga toxin-producing
E. coli (STEC), but with faster time to results.
"We are delighted and proud to receive certification from
AOAC for these two matrices, which demonstrates to producers
and regulators that Hygiena's BAX® System is an approved
method by a recognized accreditation body. These methods are
important tools to help reduce the occurrence of recent and
serious outbreaks in these products," said Dr. Martin Easter, chief
scientific officer of Hygiena.

The flour validation was executed to help U.S. and Canadian
producers avoid contamination issues that have persisted in
flour, cake and pancake mixes and raw dough since 2009. The
25 g ground beef validation was completed to support European
beef producers needing an accredited method for detection of
STEC. These producers now can use the BAX® System with
confidence that results are accurate and are certified as reliable
and reproducible.
Hygiena's BAX® System Real-time PCR Assay Suite for STEC
validation in 25 g ground beef samples was shown to provide
reliable and accurate results within a workday, supplying necessary
information on pathogen presence. The real-time PCR assay
could also accurately, and relatively rapidly, detect STEC in flour
samples that, because of their dryness, have defied efforts to detect
the bacteria.
Food processing companies around the world rely on Hygiena's
BAX® System to detect pathogens or other organisms in raw
ingredients, finished products and environmental samples. The
automated system uses PCR technology to detect Salmonella,
Listeria species, Listeria monocytogenes, E. coli O157:H7 and
STEC, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio, Cronobacter,
Shigella, and yeast and mold. Many of these tests have been
certified by AOAC and AFNOR and/or approved by government
agencies globally.

The Legato 100 single syringe infusion pump has a flow rate
range of 1.26 pl/min to 88 ml/min (syringe size dependent) with
30 lb. (13.6 kg) of adjustable force across the entire flow range. This
innovative syringe pump can hold syringe sizes 0.5 µl to 60 ml.
Legato® 100 Syringe Pump Features:

The KD Scientific Legato® 100 syringe pump is used in the new
Drop-Seq technology developed to allow biologists to investigate
large numbers of individual cells simultaneously using RNA-seq.
The Drop-Seq method isolates thousands of cells with sets of
uniquely DNA-barcoded primer beads in tiny nanodroplets. Three
Legato 100 syringe pumps provide the three required independent
flow streams of cells, micro particle buffer and oil through a
specifically designed microfluidic device. The Drop-Seq method
