Description

General description

Singlepath^® Campylobacter is a rapid diagnostic test, designed to detect Campylobacter bacteria in various food samples. Campylobacter is a genus of bacteria that can cause human infections, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps.The Singlepath^® Campylobacter is an immunochromatographic rapid test based on gold-labeled antibodies to detect the presence of a specific antigen, in this case, the Campylobacter bacteria. The test includes a nitrocellulose membrane strip that is coated with antibodies specific to Campylobacter antigens. When the sample is applied to the test strip, any Campylobacter antigens present will bind to the antibodies on the strip, developing a visible test line. The test takes approximately 20 minutes to complete, and the results are interpreted based on the presence or absence of the test line. No additional equipment expenditure is needed.

Application

Singlepath^® Campylobacter test is used to detect Campylobacter contaminations and growth in food samples. This product can also be used for pathogen testing in industrial microbiology. The test has been validated and approved by AOAC-PTM.
