BAX® System Certification for Detecting Listeria is Extended

The Association of Analytical Communities Research Institute (AOAC-RI) has extended certification of the BAX® system from DuPont Qualicon as a Performance TestedSM Method for detecting Listeria -- a bacterial genus -- in food products.

Now food companies and service labs can use non-proprietary media with the BAX® system for reliable Listeria detection in both food and environmental samples.

“Being able to use this assay to test food samples is an important advancement for our customers,” said Kevin Huttman, president -- DuPont Qualicon. “Furthermore, having flexible enrichment options will allow food companies to adopt a testing procedure that most conveniently fits their schedule.”
