GENE-UP® CRONOBACTER

CRONOBACTER DETECTION

The GENE-UP® CRONOBACTER test kit is a real-time PCR assay for the rapid detection of Cronobacter species.

Product Details

GENE-UP® CRONOBACTER is AOAC Performance Tested and provides same-day results for the accurate identification of Cronobacter spp. This test kit is used for milk and soy-based powdered infant formulas and infant cereals.

In 2023, the FDA issued a call-to-action designed to help curb Cronobacter spp. illnesses for powdered infant formula manufacturers and their dairy company ingredient suppliers since Cronobacter sakazakii infections became a nationally reportable condition in the United States in 2024. Is your operation equipped to adapt to ever-evolving regulations?

If you're manufacturing, distributing, or supplying ingredients for powdered infant formula, let us help you evaluate your production and in-process controls. We can help you bring insights to action through our Augmented Diagnostics approach.
