FSTest Staphylococcus aureus Rapid Test Kit (Lateral Flow) – Fast, On-Site Detection in Just 10–15 Minutes
The FSTest Staphylococcus aureus Rapid Test Kit is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay designed for fast, qualitative detection of Staphylococcus aureus in food, water, and environmental samples. Utilizing pre-coated antibodies and visual indicators, the test cassette delivers clear, easy-to-read results within 10–15 minutes after enrichment. With no cross-reactivity to major non-target pathogens (e.g., E. coli, Salmonella) and a detection limit of 1 CFU/g (mL), it is ideal for rapid screening in food safety inspections and production environments.
Key Features & Advantages
✔ Rapid Results in 10–15 Minutes – After a short enrichment step, results appear in under 15 minutes—ideal for time-sensitive decisions.
✔ High Sensitivity – Detects as low as 1 CFU/g or mL, critical for food safety compliance.
✔ Ready-to-Use Kit – Includes test cassettes, enrichment broth, pipettes, and instructions—no special equipment needed.
✔ Visual Readout – Clear T-line indicates positive, C-line ensures test validity—no interpretation training required.
✔ High Specificity – No cross-reaction with Salmonella, E. coli, Bacillus cereus, or other common pathogens.
✔ Simple Workflow – Minimal sample prep; no plating, culturing, or lab instruments.
✔ Shelf-Stable – 18-month shelf life at 2–25°C, perfect for lab and field use.
