Description

General description

Assurance^® GDS (Genetic Detection System) is an automated nucleic acid amplification system for the detection of pathogenic organisms in foods, ingredients, and environmental samples. The proprietary GDS PickPen^®, 8-Magnets is designed to transfer magnetic particles when working with Assurance^® GDS pathogen detection kits. The incorporation of the PickPen^® in the immunomagnetic separation (IMS) process improves the procedure by concentrating the target pathogenwhile decreasing carryover of background microflora without compromising the sensitivity.

Application

The GDS PickPen^®, 8-Magnets is designed to transfer magnetic particles when working with Assurance^® GDS pathogen detection kits used for the detection of pathogenic organisms in foods, ingredients, and environmental samples.

Features and Benefits

• Compatible with all Assurance^® GDS disposable wells/plates, 8 samples can be taken through IMS at one time
• Consistent recovery of immuno-magnetic particles during IMS
• Lower carryover of background microflora

Components

One GDS PickPen

Testing Method

Immunomagnetic Separation (IMS)
