QIAGEN Product Checklist
QIAGEN® food safety testing
technologies
Reliable food safety tests are crucial to be able to keep to product release times and increase your
confidence about your product. Preventing batch recall is not just about avoiding the associated
costs; it is about protecting your company’s reputation.
Real-time PCR is a rapid and reliable molecular method for the detection DNA. It is highly sensi-
tive and specific. Using QIAGEN’s mericon® real-time PCR Kits, you can detect DNA from patho-
gens, genetically modified organisms, and allergens, even in trace amounts. Food processing
does not affect the results, and even difficult foodstuffs, like peanut butter and chocolate, can be
tested.
QIAGEN offers innovative, high-quality solutions for food safety testing. Our mericon suite of
sample preparation and assay kits covers all segments of food testing.
This is a full* checklist of QIAGEN’s food safety testing sample and assay products.
