KD Scientific 508.429.6809 Holliston, MA www.kdscientific.com ground beef, and ammoniated beef samples. The results were compared to the United States Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) FSIS (Food Safety Inspection Service) reference method. All samples were confirmed using biochemical/serological procedures as listed in the USDA MLG (Microbiology Laboratory Guidebook). RapidChek E. coli O157 was shown to reliably detect E. coli O157 (including H7) in 375 g beef trim samples in as few as 10 h when incubated at 42°C and using a 1:5 sample to media dilution factor, in 375 g ground beef samples in as little as 12 hours when incubated at 42°C and in 375 g ammoniated beef samples in as few as 18 h when incubated at 42°C. The study also demonstrated the ability to verify RapidChek E. coli O157 potential positive results directly from the RapidChek media system with commercially available DNAbased methods followed by further confirmation with biochemical/ serological procedures as listed in the USDA MLG. The validation study was conducted by Food Safety Net Services of San Antonio, TX.

It is designed to deliver small volumes with a linear flow rate of 1 – 99 mm per/h with ± 2% accuracy and can be used in a wide variety of applications. It is cost effective and the most compact and lightest pump in its class. Flow Rate Ranges from 0.1 ml/h up to 65 ml/h depending on the syringe size and pump linear rate. This portable, user-friendly Syringe Pump offers a new alternative for micro-reliable infusions. It can accommodate a wide variety of plastic syringes from 1 ml to 60 ml. Ergonomic, easy-to-use, horizontal design protects the syringe barrel and allows single-handed loading. This Syringe Pump has a bolus function which allows the user to add 1/4 of preset fluid by bolus cable, without interruption of current infusion at a minimum of 30 minute intervals. There are two audible and visual alarms, complete occlusion and low battery. The KDS EZFlow 2030 uses 3 AA batteries. The battery life is 30 SDI’s RapidChek E. coli O157 Test System First to be Validated by an Independent Lab for Composite Testing of Common Types of Raw Beef Products DI, a provider of biotechnologybased products and services for a broad range of life science, food safety, and industrial applications, announced the completion of an extensive third-party validation of the RapidChek® E. coli O157 (including H7) test system for 375 g composited raw beef samples. The third-party validation study was performed with RapidChek E. coli O157 test strips for detection of E. coli O157 (including H7) in composited 375 g beef trim, S Charm Sciences Helps Industry Meet Sustainability Goals with Recyclable ATP Swab Tests harm Sciences, Inc. makes it easier for its customers to meet the growing demand for sustainable solutions by manufacturing its popular PocketSwab® Plus ATP swabs, commonly used for food safety and infection Be sure to mention, “I read about it in Food Protection Trends”!
