Preventive Microbiological Control
Preventive Control in a Single Reaction.
The Challenge
Our partner needed to strengthen microbiological control without increasing laboratory complexity. Their existing workflow required separate tests for pathogens and hygiene indicators, increasing cost, labor, and turnaround time. More importantly, pathogen results only confirmed problems after contamination risk had already materialized.
The TAAG Solution
TAAG deployed an integrated multiplex PCR approach that simultaneously detects Salmonella, L. monocytogenes, and key hygiene indicator microorganisms in a single reaction tube. By combining pathogen detection and indicator monitoring into one workflow, the partner gained a faster and more actionable view of microbiological risk, with results available in approximately 24 hours.
Core Impact
24 Hours
Key Results:
- Combined pathogen and hygiene indicator detection in one PCR reaction.
- Results available in approximately 24 hours to support faster release and corrective decisions.
- Earlier visibility of hygiene failures and contamination risk signals.
- Lower operational burden by reducing separate assays, reagents, plasticware, and hands-on time.
- A more preventive quality control model with simplified implementation across routine testing.
