Vibrio spp. represents a serious threat to human health. This risk is principally linked to the consumption of raw or undercooked seafood. Current culture methods are accurate but can take 3 to 5 days to obtain results. The new Bio-Rad Vibrio solution allows users to detect and differentiate three Vibrio species after an 8 hr enrichment with a total time to results of 11 hr while using the culture reference method would take at least 2 days for negative result and more for positive and confirmations.

In this one hour webinar, participants will gain valuable insight into:

  1. Challenges of traditional cultural methods for pathogen detection.
  2. Bio-Rad's Food Science Division, two main products iQ-Check Real-time PCR Solution and RAPID'Chromogenic Media.
  3. iQ-Check Vibrio Solution for seafood industry testing and Free DNA Removal Solution (FDRS) for dead cell management.
