BAX System Q7
A 96-well real-time PCR workstation for food-pathogen detection and confirmation. Compatible BAX System and foodproof assays can run on one platform with automated result interpretation.

Quick decision
Is this test right for your control programme?
Consider it when
Food-plant and independent microbiology laboratories with a regular PCR sample flow
We clarify before quoting
Matrix and sampling point, target, decision threshold, test volume, compatible reader, control points, frequency and approved procedure.
Another test may be better when
The matrix, analytical target, required limit, time to result, readout format or approved procedure differs.
Best suited for
Food-plant and independent microbiology laboratories with a regular PCR sample flow
Capabilities and controlled parameters
- 96-well format for parallel batch runs
- Real-time PCR with software-based automated result interpretation
- Compatibility with current BAX System and foodproof assays is verified for the exact kit
- Validated solutions are available for Salmonella, Listeria, E. coli O157:H7 and other target organisms
- Enrichment, sample preparation and reaction setup remain part of the method and determine total turnaround time
- Certificate, matrix, test portion and screening/confirmation claim must be checked for each assay
Specifications have been checked against the official manufacturer page.

Implementation considerations
Test implementation starts with the matrix, sampling point, analytical target and decision rule. Before supply, LabLog checks reader and consumable compatibility, control requirements, frequency, training, storage and result documentation.
How LabLog supports the project
- 01Define the matrix, sampling point and target
- 02Check the decision threshold and applicable method
- 03Agree the reader, tests, controls and stock level
- 04Prepare storage, training and a working instruction
- 05Verify a trial cycle before routine use
