QIAGEN introduces the mericon food safety testing portfolio, a system of molecular testing solutions designed to streamline food sample preparation and deliver sensitive detection results within 3 hours.

mericon sample preparation kits efficiently extract DNA from microbial enrichment cultures and various food matrices in few steps.

The output is template DNA optimized for detection by real-time PCR with our mericon PCR assays. Backed by QIAGEN expertise, mericon kits reliably detect the presence of pathogens, genetically modified organisms, and plant and animal matter in food and animal feed. Plus, the range of assays is continuously growing!
