SOLUS SCIENTIFIC Rapid testing systems for the food safety sector Solus Scientific manufactures laboratory diagnostic testing systems for the food safety industry.

Using proven technology that is simple, practical and affordable, our immunoassay tests are easy to implement yet produce rapid results.

The faster you can get a positive or negative test result, the faster decisions can be made and food products can enter the supply chain.

2 SOLUS SCIENTIFIC Rapid testing systems for the food safety sector Solus Scientific manufactures laboratory diagnostic testing systems for the food safety industry. Our systems test for the presence of pathogens or allergens in foodstuffs and provide rapid detection of raw meat species in foods. Using proven technology that is simple, practical and affordable, our immunoassay tests are easy to implement yet produce rapid results. Ultimately, we supply the tools that protect the reputation of thousands and the health of millions, all over the world. Why Solus Scientific? The faster you can get a positive or negative test result, the faster decisions can be made and food products can enter the supply chain. Clients worldwide expect accurate results and when they deal with us, they know that our processes are aligned with the way they work. Our tests make both commercial and scientific sense because they allow proven technology to be automated, increasing throughput, efficiency and productivity. Why choose our technology? Solus Scientific testing systems use proven, industrystandard immunoassay technology that is simple to deploy and needs no lengthy biomedical identification procedure. The traditional culture method of growing bacteria is slow and labour intensive. It also relies on a level of expertise to identify suspect colonies. Molecular methods are sophisticated alternatives but are expensive to adopt. On top of costly, specialised equipment, molecular methods require specially trained staff and purpose made facilities.

3 SOLUS PATHOGEN SYSTEMS Solus Pathogen Systems offer food testing laboratories an easy to use, cost effective and efficient method for the detection of Salmonella, Listeria and E. coli O157 in food and environmental samples. Presented in an immunoassay format, Solus Pathogen tests are versatile and can be used manually or in conjunction with automation. Performing to high standards, our tests are robust, reliable and validated by AFNOR to ISO Solus System Benefits Highly efficient when automated, significantly reducing technician time High sample throughput can be achieved with a single machine Can be used manually for smaller sample throughput Validation in external, independent laboratories demonstrates high levels of sensitivity and specificity. Detection is 1 CFU per 25g of food product or swab prior to enrichment Results available in: 36 hours (Salmonella) 44 hours (Listeria) 18 hours (E.coli O157)
