This kit is simple and rapid detection kit for foodborne pathogens utilizing immunochromatographic assay. Simple test procedure with simply dropping specimens of enrichment culture to a test strip. Rapid judgment of test results, by checking the reddish purple test line simply after 15 minutes from the start of assay. Food poisoning by Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli is an infectious food poisoning that is caused by the growth of E.coli taken into the intestinal tract though the ingestion of food. These Diarrheagenic E.coli canbe broadly classified into five types. Among these, Enterohemorrhagic E.coli (EHEC) causes hemorrhagic colitis through the action of the verotoxin that it produces; it can also cause hemolytic uremic syndrome and encephalopathy, whichcan be fatal. Many cases of mass food poisoning by EHEC have occurred, so EHEC is viewed as the most dangerous among Diarrheagenic E.coli from the standpoint of food hygiene. The recent increase in the serotype O26 isolated from patients withdiarrheagenic E.coli infection has made it as the second commonest serotype after O157. The Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare of Japan therefore issued a notification of the ''Test method of diarrheagenic E.coli O157 and O26'' (Notification No. 1102004 issued by Inspection and Safety Division) in November 2006.

This product is a kit for detecting E.coli O26 in foods by immunochromatography. Tests can be conducted rapidly and simplyby means of the kit.

Features:
1. The simple one-step operation of the kit.
2. The test gives rapid results.
3. There is no need for special test equipment.
