Introducing Patented IDEA™ STEC: Simplify Confirmation of STEC. 

In the ever-evolving world of food safety, bioMérieux has unveiled its latest innovation, IDEA™ STEC, a patented and groundbreaking agar designed to simplify and enhance the confirmation step in detecting Escherichia coli producing Shigatoxin (stx+), a major health concern.  

New IDEA™ STEC is a culture media solution that boosts accuracy and ensures compliance with next-generation isolation agar leveraging Shigatoxin immunocapture. This advanced agar enables selective isolation of STEC EHEC TOP 7, ensuring high specificity and efficiency.  

With IDEA™ STEC, you can simplify the confirmation step and improve decision-making in the detection of STEC. 

Key benefits of IDEA™ STEC include: 

  • High confirmation rate: robust performance, clear visual for further confirmation tests (PCR, Latex) and accurate results accross STEC, typical EHEC and non STEC-strains.

  • Streamlined Workflow: fewer steps and faster identification

  • Cost Effectiveness: fewer confirmatory tests needed, less uncessary handling and labour time.
