SureTect PCR

Visibly simple food pathogen testing—simple workflows designed to get results.

Rapidly and accurately detect foodborne pathogens, and other important food safety and quality targets with the Thermo Scientific SureTect Food Safety PCR System.

Empower your operations with simple workflows and rapid reporting to enable faster product release and interventions. Our food safety PCR assays offer detection of the major pathogens and other important targets in food, animal feed, primary production samples, and samples from environmental manufacturing.

Whether your laboratory is looking to introduce PCR technology for the first time, or you want to expand the PCR testing services you offer, we can help you find the right solution.

Validated for a broad range of targets and matrices according to ISO16140-2:2016 and AOAC validation and certification requirements, the SureTect PCR Assays provide the ultimate solution for all your foodborne pathogen detection requirements.
