BAX® Systems are flexible.
Accommodates the workflow in your lab.
Up to 96 results per batch
Universal protocol allows you to “mix and match” many bacterial targets in the same batch
Facilitates high-volume workloads (200 or more tests per day)
New real-time assays can use probe-based chemistry for information beyond yes-or-no

BAX® System Protocol Requires 3 Major Steps
On enriched/regrown or resuscitated samples…
1. Prepare samples 2. Process samples 3. Review results

18
Enrich food samples 8-48 hours
Follow standard protocols, such as BAM or ISO, for enriching the food type
Shorter enrichment times available with BAX® system proprietary media
• E. coli O157:H7 MP
• 8-20 hour broth for enriching raw beef samples
• Listeria
• Standard assay uses single 24-hour broth for enriching environmental samples
