This kit is simple and rapid detection kit for foodborne pathogens utilizing immunochromatographic assay. Simple test procedure with simply dropping specimens of enrichment culture to a test strip. Rapid judgment of test results, by checking the reddish purple test line simply after 15 minutes from the start of assay.Enterohemorrhagic _III_Escherichia coli_IIII_ (_III_E. coli_IIII_), which has been reported in association with extensive food poisoning or deaths, induces symptoms by producing verotoxins (VTs). The verotoxins are broadly classifiedinto verotoxin type 1 (VT1) and verotoxin type 2 (VT2), which are known to have very strong toxicity.In Japan, a number of serotypes have been detected such as O157 and O26##(1)###. For these serotypes, test methods##(2)### have already been providedthrough notification from the reguratory authority. For other _III_E. coli_IIII_ serotypes, examination of verotoxins in food is effective in preventing enterohemorrhagic food poisoning. Furthermore, a verotoxin test should be performed if enterohemorrhagic _III_E. coli_IIII_ is detected because verotoxin production is used to confirm enterohemorrhagic _III_E. coli_IIII_.This product is a kit for detecting verotoxin using immunochromatography. With this kit, simple tests can be conducted rapidly to differentiate VT1 and VT2.Features: 1.The simple one-step operation of the kit.2. The test gives rapid results.3. There is no need for special test equipment.
