Bacteria Capture Kits

Hyglos microbiology product range focuses on innovative bacteria capture systems targeting pathogens in food and environmental samples. The method principle which is applied is Affinity Magnetic Separation (AMS). Based on patented binding and lysing molecules derived from bacteriophages this method reduces time-to-result and greatly improves the quality of microbiological testing.

Bacteria Capture Kits by Hyglos - features:

  • Contain specific bacteria-binding and bacteria-lysing molecules derived from bacteriophages and magnetic beads

  • High-performing and time-saving method for testing on bacteria in food and environmental samples

  • Efficient removal of inhibiting substances simplifies the isolation and identification of the target organisms on plates and removes the need for nucleic acid purification prior to PCR

  • Superior in affinity and specificity compared to antibody-based methods (e.g. immuno magnetic separation - IMS)

  • Validated products for routine microbiological testing of food samples (e.g. raw foods, prepared foods and beverages) and screening of environmental swabs
