This PCR solution can help you speed up food analysis and product release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is real-time PCR?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In conventional PCR, the amplified DNA product, or amplicon, is detected in an end-point analysis. On the other hand, in real-time PCR, the accumulation of amplification product is measured as the reaction progresses in real-time, with product quantification after each cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What are the benefits of using the GENE-UP\u00ae technology?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through the GENE-UP\u00ae technology here at M\u00e9rieux NutriSciences South Africa, we can verify the microbiological quality of food and environmental swabs and provide manufacturers with next-day results &#8211; depending on the time samples are received at our laboratory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key benefits of this solution are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rapid<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simple<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reliable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flexible<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Method, Matrice&amp; Turn Around Time<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong><em>Cronobacter <\/em>species<\/strong><\/td><td>Environmental Swabs, Infant Formula and Cereals<\/td><td><strong>Next Day <\/strong>&#8211; dependent on the time received by the laboratory<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><em>Salmonella<\/em> species<\/strong><\/td><td>Environmental Swabs, Infant Formula, Cereals, Pet Food and Chocolate<\/td><td><strong>Next Day<\/strong> &#8211; dependent on the time received by the laboratory<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How do I ascertain if the GENE-UP\u00aePCR solution is right for my business?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to find out if this analysis is right for your business, contact us below, and one of our food safety experts will respond to your questions.\u00a0Let us help you protect your brand.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/baptister83.sg-host.com\/za\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contact Us<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>M\u00e9rieux NutriSciences South Africa is now SANAS accredited for GENE-UP\u00ae pathogen testing and routine analysis.
