Fast & Reliable Campylobacter Test Kits

With increased testing and regulatory focus on Campylobacter, the poultry industry needs a simple, cost-effective alternative for testing that allows for high throughput.

RapidChek^® Campylobacter utilizes a streamlined aerobic enrichment and sensitive antibody-based lateral flow device that delivers enhanced accuracy to competitive methods with significantly less effort. The test kits may be used to detect C. jejuni, C. coli, and C. lari in poultry carcass rinses.

An all-in-one enrichment media (with no additional supplements needed) allows for quick and easy sample preparation. An aerobic incubation step simplifies the enrichment procedure. Test results are obtained within 47 hours. They can be read easily and directly from the developed strip, without the need for specialized and costly equipment.

The RapidChek^® Campylobacter product line was developed in collaboration with a large poultry processor using plant carcass rinses.  The method uses novel proprietary media, enhancing both the specificity and the sensitivity of the overall method. Third party certifications are underway and will confirm the high standards of analytical accuracy and result reliability.

The simple-to-use lateral flow technology offers high throughput scalability. From one to hundreds of samples at once, strips can be read between 20 and 30 minutes after strip development. Kits can be stored at room temperature and have a long shelf life.
