BAX® System

The award-winning BAX® detection system is a fast and accurate method for detecting pathogens or other organisms in food and environmental samples. The system breaks down samples at the genetic level, using the power of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect bacteria and other microbes with certainty.

Advanced technology with the BAX® System Q7

 BAX® System Q7 Incorporating innovative PCR technology from Applied Biosystems, the new BAX® System Q7 offers advanced DNA-based detection for a broad range of sampling applications--from ingredients to end products.

Although the BAX® system Q7 is completely compatible with currently available assays, the new system offers advanced capabilities for faster processing, real-time PCR and probe-based detection. Future BAX® Q7 assays can utilize these features with flexibility to provide for multiple target detection in the same well, along with information beyond presence or absence, such as quantitation or species differentiation.

With a single program for most bacteria, the BAX® system allows you to test multiple targets in the same run, up to 96 samples per batch. Tableted reagents, which enable minimal hands-on time using standard laboratory techniques, provide long shelf life and consistency.

Friendly screen prompts guide you through the entire procedure, reducing the need for highly skilled technicians and expensive training. Current assays provide results on prepared samples within four hours, clearly displayed on screen with a simple positive or negative icon that virtually eliminates the need for expert interpretation. Electronic files allow you to print, share and store your results for easy archiving and retrieval.

Customers around the world have made the BAX® system an integral part of their quality control systems due to its tremendous impact on their operations--from dramatically decreasing false positives and minimizing re-testing, to reducing employee training and speeding the time to market.

The speed and accuracy of DNA-based detection, including a license to perform PCR. The simplicity of a load-it and leave-it operation. The familiarity of a Microsoft® Windows® interface. The BAX® system combines it all for smooth testing procedures at any stage in the processing pipeline
