MDS 100 Molecular Detection System

Food pathogen detector uses multiple, specific primers targeting distinct regions of the genome, combined with real-time detection of the amplification, to deliver specific results. The MDS 100 uses Bst DNA Polymerase for rapid, continuous, isothermal amplification, eliminating the need for a thermocycler. Bioluminescence detection reduces background interferences.
