Fast, accurate, easy to use.
Advanced DNA-based PCR technology provides rapid, reproducible results to help you make faster product release decisions with confidence.
The BAX® System X5 handles up to 32 samples using the same advanced PCR technology to accurately and reliably identify foodborne pathogens in raw ingredients, finished products, and environmental samples with a smaller lab footprint.

BAX® System X5 PCR Assays
With a processing time of approximately 3.5 hours in the BAX® System X5 instrument, the method returns results comparable to culture methods, but with a significantly faster time to result. All assays report clear yes/no results at concentrations as low as 10^4 cfu/mL after enrichment.
