Roche Applied Science’s systems for polymerase chain reaction (PCR), including LightCycler Instruments, software, reagents and consumables are designed for life science research.

They enable the development and adaptation of PCR assays for the identification of the EHEC bacterium.

TIB Molbiol’s new LightMix Kit EHEC contains pre-mixed primers and probes and an appropriate positive control for use with the LightCycler Instruments.

TIB Molbiol said the test detects and differentiates both Shiga toxin genes and can be performed in less than one hour.
