Pathatrix

PATHATRIX is a method for the rapid detection of a range pathogenic and/or spoilage bacterium in food samples.

 
The PATHATRIX system is a novel patented technology that relies on the use of antibody coated paramagnetic particles to selectively bind and purify the target organism from a comprehensive range of complex food matrices. It is unique in that it is the only microbial detection system that can analyse the entire 225ml + 25g sample simultaneously by re-circulating the sample through a "capture phase" where the antibody coated magnetic beads are immobilised. By providing heat to the system the organisms can be cultured and captured simultaneously, thus increasing the method sensitivity.

Once captured and concentrated the sample is now ready for use with a variety of detection methods: either direct plating onto the appropriate selective media and incubated or tested using one of the following; COLORTRIX; FLURATRIX (fluorescence microscopy); serology; PCR; ELISA; and/or DNA probe.
