VereBeef™
VereBeef™ Detection Kit is a multiplex PCR/microarray-based test. This nucleic acid-based test is intended for qualitative detection, differentiation, and identification of multiple foodborne pathogens in raw beef trim samples.
The following organisms are identified:
Escherichia coli O157:H7
non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) serogroups
O26
O45
O103
O111
O121
O145
Salmonella spp.
The virulence genes targeted for E.coli analysis are:
eae (intimin)
stx (Shiga-like toxins)
This test is for use in conjunction with the VerePLEX™ Biosystem. This kit is intended for trained laboratory personnel who follow standard microbiology laboratory practice to detect the presence of target organisms in raw beef trim. This kit is not for animal or human therapeutic or diagnostic use.
