Key Benefits
foodproof® Workflow
We offer a broad portfolio of products for a robust and reliable real-time PCR detection by providing not only kits tailored to the needs in your lab but also instruments for automation of liquid handling and real-time PCR cyclers.
Extraction
We provide extraction kits tailored to your needs:
foodproof® StarPrep Two Kit
The foodproof StarPrep Two Kit provides rapid DNA extraction from bacteria, yeast, and mold for direct PCR applications. This streamlined kit handles enrichment cultures, direct samples, and filtered water samples, processing up to 1 mL sample volume in a single tube. The lysis buffer eliminates hazardous organic extractions and chaotropic agents while minimizing cross-contamination risks. Designed for 96 reactions, the kit delivers high-quality DNA suitable for PCR detection of Listeria, Clostridium, Legionella, beer-spoiling bacteria, spoilage yeast, and Aspergillus. Save time with reduced handling steps and get reliable results for food safety testing.
Additional Reagents
Reagent D
Reagent D eliminates DNA from dead cells to prevent false-positive PCR results in food safety testing. This light-sensitive reagent penetrates dead cell membranes and binds to DNA upon light exposure, blocking PCR amplification. Validated for testing Enterobacteriaceae, Salmonella, Legionella, and Vibrio in various food matrices including instant milk formula and dairy products. Compatible with Hygiena's DNA isolation kits, Reagent D ensures accurate detection of viable microorganisms in food safety and environmental monitoring applications.
Rinse Buffer
The Rinse Buffer is designed for optimal recovery of microbes from filter membranes.
Suspension Buffer
Hygiena Suspension Buffer simplifies bacterial colony preparation for PCR testing with a streamlined, single-tube protocol. This specialized buffer enables direct suspension of colonies from agar plates without hazardous organic extractions or chaotropic agents. The extract maintains cell viability for additional analyses like serotyping or DNA sequencing. The efficient process delivers PCR-ready samples while reducing handling steps and exposure to hazardous materials. Perfect for quality control labs needing fast, reliable sample preparation for food safety and microbial identification testing.
