THE CRITICAL NEED
FOR ADVANCED DETECTION
According to the US FDA, E. coli is consistently among the top causes of food recalls. Notable outbreaks underscore the critical need for effective detection methods. Such outbreaks include the 2018 romaine lettuce contamination, the 2022 French frozen pizza incident, and the June 2024 case of sandwiches, wraps, and salads sold in major British supermarkets.
These incidents underscore the need for advanced detection technologies, as traditional models like the Enterobacteriaceae test may only sometimes be specific enough.
N-LightTM Escherichia Coli – For Actionable Results in 16H
Our E. coli rapid test is part of the N-LightTM environmental monitoring series, which enables pathogen detection without needing a laboratory.
The N-LightTM E. coli Test Leverages the Enzyme Beta-Glucuronidase, Present in 99% of E. coli Strains
- User-Friendly: Minimal training is required for accurate results.
- Rapid Results: Obtain results in as little as 16 hours.
- High Sensitivity: Detects even single-digit dried E. coli cells from stainless steel surfaces with exceptional accuracy.
We developed this test to serve as a hygiene indicator for:
-
Water Safety
-
Factory Surfaces
-
Hand Hygiene
Incubation at 44°C eliminates competing microflora while allowing for E. coli to grow
The targeted enzyme breaks the AquaSparkTM molecule
This results in the emission of light, which is then measured
