Replace Complexity with Clarity to Detect What Matters

EHEC Intelligence You Can Trust

bioMérieux’s comprehensive solution for Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) testing combines molecular precision, evolution of culture technology, and efficient workflows to deliver fast and reliable results.

From Insight to Action

Wherever you operate, bioMérieux has you covered, helping provide faster and more accurate results for smart decisions. Enhance your operational efficiency with harmonized protocols designed to reduce cost and hands-on time*, paired with workflows adaptable to your specific needs. Unlock rapid turnaround times to release product in as fast as 6.5 hours** and move forward with greater speed and confidence.

Our solutions not only contribute to faster, more efficient timelines, but also deliver results you can act on, enabling informed operational decision making when it matters most. By reducing presumptive positives, non-confirmed results, and unnecessary confirmation steps, organizations can avoid unnecessary product hold, scrap, or diversion — keeping operations running smoothly and product moving forward.

*Harmonized protocols for Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7, and Top 6 E. coli O-Groups - one enrichment, one DNA extraction, multiple results

**6.5h protocol available with semi-automated DNA extraction and sample cloth device

End-to-End EHEC Detection and Confirmation
