D-TEX
Food and Water safety through instant molecular detection of
bacteria.
D-TEX Inc. has a new molecular based
detection technology use for detecting bacteria in food and from
equipment surfaces. Initially developed at the University of
Calgary the entire detection process takes place in under 5
mins.
Access to safe food is something most of us take for granted,
and because of the effort our food processors take, our food and
water is safe. But the threats to this are increasing and although
we can not 'clean up' the bacterial load, and indeed some bacteria
is essential to healthy living. New technology in Monitoring the
amount of bacteria is a critical step in safety, and is becoming
available. The D-TEX 100T and Test Kit provides a rapid screening
tool to assess the safety of water samples, food processing
equipment and surface swabs. Used to compliment traditional testing
while achieving rapid results. The D-TEX 100 is designed to detect
bacteria with comparative results to traditional microbiology-based
methods, but delivers results in minutes.
Bacterial strain-specific testing using the D-TEX 100 allows
immediate identification of pathogenic organisms and alerts you to
unsafe conditions.
The D-TEX technology, focuses on 5 main aspects,
- SENSITIVITY (single CFU detection)
- SPEED - (less that 5 min to results)
- ACCUARACY (no false positive)
- REPEATABLITY (Self calibration)
- EASE OF USE (basic lab skills only)
