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

Our Solutions: Gain Control in Complexity

  • VERIFLOW® BOTTLESAFE

    Verify Final Filtration

    Rapidly detect common wine spoilers before bottling in both red and white wines with BOTTLESAFE. The BOTTLESAFE pre-bottling quality tools validate filtration and ensure your carefully crafted wines are free of common spoilage bacteria and yeast, protecting your vintage bottles and your brand.

  • VERIFLOW® VINOPAL

    Proactively Manage Spoilage Organisms

    VINOPAL provides accurate information about the presence and level of Pediococcus and Lactobacillus at any time, and especially during harvest. These bacteria can quickly multiply, making early detection critical so wine can develop as intended.

  • VERIFLOW

    Unmatched Specificity

    VERIFLOW™ uses DNA Signature Capturing Technology to provide unmatched specificity and unrivaled sensitivity with zero compromises on ease-of-use in the production environment.

  • VIDAS® and MINI VIDAS® Food Pathogen Detection

    Automated Pathogen Detection

    The VIDAS® and MINI VIDAS® instruments are fast and efficient multiparametric immunoassay systems designed to provide the most accurate laboratory results.
  • VERIFLOW® VINOBRETT

    Preserve the Value of your Wine

    Bring affordable, onsite PCR testing to your winery with VINOBRETT. VINOBRETT makes it possible to conduct routine, proactive testing throughout the winemaking process to obtain accurate information about the presence and level of Brettanomyces at any time.
