Benefits of our Reagents

Each Food Security System assay is freeze-dried into a small pellet containing all of the ingredients for real-time PCR in a simple and convenient format.

• Each vial is individually packaged containing 1 x 20 μL reaction
• Internal controls
• Probe format for dual specificity
• Easy to use single mixture format
• Storage at room temperature

Validated Pooling Technique

Idaho Technology’s validated pooling technique allows food producers to test more samples, enabling faster and better decisions at a lower cost.

Pooling is unique in that it relies on post-enrichment pooling as opposed to conventional pre-enrichment sample pooling, the key point being that the pooling approach maintains 100% sample integrity and traceability. A number of significant benefits that the pooling provides are:

• Increased sample throughput i.e. up to 5 times
• Substantial cost reduction i.e. > 60%
• Significant labor savings i.e. > 60%
• Original sample integrity maintained
