New Innovative Touch Screen Peristaltic
Pump from KD Scientific
DuPont™ bAX® System Certified by AOAC for
Detecting Pathogenic E. coli (STEC)
KD Scientific has introduced its new Allegro Peristaltic Pump
System. This innovative new pumping system allows maintenance
free, continuous flow pumping for various fluids.
The Allegro™ Peristaltic Pump System can easily dispense
in forward or reverse direction using the touch screen display.
Additionally, all parameters are clearly displayed on the touch screen
for easy viewing. The unit can be configured for your specific flow
profile using the programmable multi-step operations available right
on the pump.
"The Allegro™ Peristaltic Pump System is the only touch screen
peristaltic pump that displays flow rate, dispensed volume and flow
direction," said Jena Araki, vice president of KD Scientific. "The
intuitive interface containing internationally recognized icons makes
the pumping setup and execution as simple as a touch of the screen."
The DuPont™ BAX® System has been certified by the AOAC
Research Institute as a Performance Tested MethodSM (PTM) for
detecting Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) in beef trim and
ground beef.
"With this certification, our entire portfolio of BAX® System
assays for three important foodborne pathogens - E. coli,
Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes - has been validated by
AOAC," said Doris Engesser-Sudlow, global director for molecular
diagnostics, DuPont Nutrition & Health. "This means that food
companies can use one molecular-based platform for those
pathogen testing needs, with confidence in accurate results that
are certified as reliable and reproducible."
The AOAC Research Institute, a subsidiary of AOAC
International in Gaithersburg, MD, validated the BAX® System
method as equivalent to the reference culture method for detecting
STEC, but with much faster time to results. BAX® System assays for
detecting E. coli O157:H7, Listeria spp., and many other pathogens
are already PTM-certified. Beyond that, AOAC International has
awarded Official Method of Analysis (OMA) status to the BAX®
System for detecting for Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes.
The BAX® System suite of STEC assays, based on real-time
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology, was developed in
collaboration with the Agricultural Research Services of the United
States Department of Agriculture (USDA ARS) and was recently
included, along with the BAX® System real-time PCR assay for
E. coli O157:H7, in the Microbiology Laboratory Guidebook of
the Food Safety & Inspection Service (USDA FSIS).
Food processing companies around the world rely on the BAX®
System to detect pathogens or other organisms in raw ingredients,
finished products and environmental samples. The automated
system uses leading-edge technology, including PCR assays, tableted
reagents and optimized media to detect Salmonella, Listeria species,
Listeria monocytogenes, E. coli O157:H7 and STEC, Campylobacter,
Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio, and yeast and mold. Many of these
tests have been certified by AOAC and AFNOR and/or approved
by government agencies in the Americas, Asia and Europe.
Allegro™ System Features include:
* Features the world renown Masterflex® L/S® Easy-Load® II
Pump Head
* Touch screen interface clearly displays flow rate and total
dispensed volume
* User configurable multi-step operation

min. The Allegro™ II uses a two channel pump head offering two
individual flows or one combined flow up to 720 ml/min. The
Allegro™ III uses two single channel pump heads offering two
individual flows or one combined flow up to 2,000 ml/min.

New Economy Anaerobic Chamber from
Sheldon Manufacturing
Sheldon Manufacturing has introduced the BactronEZ, an ideal
first anaerobic chamber or replacement chamber for users who
desire to upgrade their existing chamber. The BactronEZ has a 13.7
cu ft workspace and a 300 plate capacity incubator. Specifically
designed for use by smaller laboratories, it may also serve as an
economical set-up for larger labs.
Bactron systems have airtight construction of stainless steel and
rigid Plexiglas, for unobstructed vision and integrity. The patented
cuffs form a comfortable seal around the operator's arms permitting
