A Paradigm Shift in Microbial Quality Testing for Nutraceuticals

Simultaneous Enrichment & Multiplex Detection

USP methodology is the industry standard for nutraceutical microbiology safety and quality testing. Traditional singleplex molecular assays are cost and labor prohibitive with less accuracy across the diverse range of nutraceutical matrices.

GENE-UP^® NUTRAPLEX^™ PRO, developed in partnership with HERBALIFE NUTRITION, is a multiplex assay that simultaneously detects Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp. and Staphylococcus aureus from a single universal enrichment in 24 hours. NUTRAPLEX PRO meets the needs of USP <2022> across a wide variety of challenging nutraceutical matrices, while improving overall efficiencies.

How It Works

• 

  Single enrichment

  
• 

  Transfer 20 μL to GENE-UP lysis tube – 5 minute mechanical lysis

  
• 

  Add 5 μL to PCR tube

  
• 

  Place in GENE-UP for ~2 hours 30 minutes

  
• 

  Accurate multiplex results
