About this kit

Escherichia coli is a species of bacteria that is commonly used in laboratories. Some strains of E. coli are food-borne pathogens and can cause digestive illness. For specific detection of the pathogenic E. coli strain O157:H7, please see kit number 31037. PCR to amplify the gene uidA has been published and shown to be highly specific for E. coli. The primers provided in the kit have been validated at Biotium for real-time qPCR using Forget-Me-Not™ EvaGreen® qPCR Master Mix.
