addition, and of false-positive results from
cross-contamination
Rapid, Specific and Sensitive
Microbial Detection
How the System Works
GeneDisc Ultra-Lyser
Many of the key microbiological tests routinely used for nonsterile product testing can take days to produce data. Delayed
availability of microbiological data presents a significant,
avoidable risk to processes and products. The GeneDisc
rapid microbiology system is designed to accelerate routine
microbiological testing, offering an easy-to-use product that
requires minimal training to adopt and place into routine use.
} High throughput enables
simultaneous DNA
extraction for up to
48 samples
GeneDisc Plate
The GeneDisc Plate for Specified Microorganisms enables rapid
and simple assays for the key indicator microorganisms used
in a compendial test, such as the new harmonized Microbial
Limits Test.
} Pre-loaded for ease of
use and reliable analysis
Each plate contains six sectors, with six wells per sector.
Each of the six wells contains reagents to detect one or more
microbial targets simultaneously. An entire sector of six wells
provides data for six different microorganisms (see below) plus
an internal positive control. This novel assay design maximizes
data for a single sample. Six samples can be tested per plate.
Indicator organisms are:
} Escherichia coli
} Salmonella spp.
} Pseudomonas aeruginosa
} Staphylococcus aureus
} Candida albicans
} Burkholderia cepacia complex
Each sector also includes an internal positive control. The
positive control runs within predetermined parameters, to
confirm critical aspects of sample purity and system set-up. If
not, the assay is automatically invalidated.
Each plate is barcoded for traceability – the barcode also
automatically selects the appropriate assay parameters stored
within the GeneDisc Cycler.
GeneDisc Cycler
} Performs real-time PCR
in one hour and provides
direct display of results
