Product Details

The EGENE-UP® EASYPREP is ideal for semi-automated extraction of foodborne virus nucleic acids when paired with GENE-UP® virus detection and quantification kits. 

 

It is also a game-changer for specific protocol for Salmonella detection in cocoa and chocolate matrices, delivering results in less than 12 hours.

FEATURES

 

  • Walk-Away Operation: After setup, the platform runs autonomously, allowing users to focus on other tasks while the instrument handles nucleic acid extraction and purification.
  • Scalable and Flexible: Suitable for a variety of sample types and lab sizes, providing a flexible solution to meet diverse testing needs.
  • Quick Turnaround: Ideal for applications requiring fast pathogen detection, such as Salmonella detection in cocoa/chocolate matrices (results in under 12 hours).

 

WHY CHOOSE EGENE-UP® EASYPREP & NUCLISENS® - BENEFITS:

 

  • Running time: Reduction of Enrichment time and time-to-result by up to 50% compared to classical methods.
  • Ease of use: User-friendly interface simplifies operation, reducing the need for extensive training.
  • Flexibility: Adaptable to various sample types and protocols, making it suitable for different lab environments and testing needs.
  • Cost: Achieve cost efficiency by reducing handling time by 70% compared to the same manual protocol.
  • Automation: Semi-automated operation helps reduce human error risk and contributes to increase throughput, allowing labs to focus on other tasks.
  • AFNOR Certification for Cocoa & Chocolate Raw Ingredients: Trusted technology that follows international standards for accuracy and safety.

By automating the complex and time-consuming process of nucleic acid extraction, EGENE-UP® EASYPREP helps ensure that laboratories achieve faster, more reliable results—essential for critical applications in food safety, diagnostics, and pathogen detection.

Validation Study Of A Rapid Method For The Detection Of Salmonella Spp In Raw Materials For Chocolate Industries Using GENE-UP® PCR And New EGENE-UP® Easyprep Solution

The chocolate industry is particularly concerned by Salmonella spp. contaminations in raw materials derived from cocoa beans. Salmonella spp. is ubiquitous and present in the environment and can persist in cocoa products along the process of cocoa beans transformation.

When present in cocoa products, Salmonella spp. strains are subjected to a high level of stress and can be injured, making complex the detection by conventional and rapid methods. Moreover, the need of a rapid method in one shift is important due to specific manufacturing constraints.
