Product news

With the foodproof® SL product line BIOTECON Diagnostics GmbH expands its food safety portfolio with more than 25 new kits for special applications.

The foodproof® SL Pathogen Kits provide rapid, accurate and sensitive detection of rare parameters, e.g. Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus or Clostridium perfringens which produce highly potent toxins and constitute a potential health risk in food products.

Identify Food Fraud

The foodproof® SL Animal Identification Kits, e.g. for horse, pork or sheep, provide increased precision in differentiating closely related species, as well as identifying intentional and accidental food fraud and contaminants in meat products.

The foodproof® SL kits for particular GMO events and Multiplex GMO detection offer a range of testing options for qualitative detection of undeclared GM ingredients in food and feed.

High Performance Quality

The foodproof® SL kits are especially tailored for infrequent parameters and therefore include just 50 reactions. Based on real-time PCR technology the kits provide specific DNA detection and high performance quality. The foodproof® SL 5’Nuclease kits are available for different real-time PCR platforms using TaqMan® technology. BIOTECON Diagnostics supplies the perfect match sample preparation for all foodproof® SL detection kits.

MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments. Find the best microbiology products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Food SafetyFood safety describes the prevention of food-borne illnesses. Contamination with a variety of pathogens can be prevented with adequate temperature control, hygiene and labeling. Food samples can be tested using GC/MS, HPLC, SPE, and qPCR to ensure their adherence to regulations.Microbial DetectionMicrobial detection is crucial for identifying and quantifying bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms. This process is essential for food safety, environmental monitoring, clinical diagnostics, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Explore the best microbial detection tools in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Food ContaminationFood contamination refers to the presence of harmful substances or pathogens in food, posing risks to human health. Contaminants can be biological, chemical, or physical, and their detection is crucial for ensuring food safety. Advanced testing methods like PCR, chromatography, and spectroscopy are used to identify contaminants in food products. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best solutions for food contamination detection, compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Bacterial DetectionBacterial detection uses methods such as cell culture, microscopy, and biochemical assays to identify harmful or beneficial bacteria based on their morphological and metabolic charactersistics. These techniques support disease diagnostics, food safety, and microbial research. Explore bacterial detection systems, kits, and consumables in our directory to compare products and read reviews.
