A Revolutionary Tool for Protein Detection on Surfaces
Why This Matters
Proline Medical has unveiled Terragene’s latest innovation, the PRO 1 MICRO High Sensitivity Pen System, designed to enhance the detection and quantification of proteins on various surfaces, particularly in hard-to-reach areas after cleaning. This cutting-edge system promises to streamline the monitoring of cleanliness and safety in various environments, including laboratories, hospitals, and food processing facilities.
Key Features of the Terragene PRO 1 MICRO
The Terragene PRO 1 MICRO is a sophisticated tool that combines a reactive solution with a high absorption swab, ensuring efficient sample collection from a wide range of surfaces. Here are the standout characteristics:
- Compact Design: With a pen diameter of 12.4 mm and a length of 161 mm, this system is easy to handle, while the swab, measuring 111.9 mm, allows for thorough sampling in challenging areas.
- Exceptional Sensitivity: The system boasts a limit of quantification at 1.0 µg of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) and a remarkable sensitivity of 0.3 µg of BSA, making it ideal for precise detection.
- Flexible Analysis Options: Users can perform both qualitative and quantitative analyses. For qualitative analysis, samples are incubated using the Bionova® IC10/20 incubator at a temperature of 60± 2 ºC for 7 minutes, followed by visual interpretation with the reference guide included in the packaging. For quantitative analysis, the system is compatible with the Bionova® IC10/20FR, Bionova® IC10/20FRLCD, or Bionova® MiniPro auto-reader incubators, providing flexibility in operation.
- Efficient Incubation: The incubation time is streamlined to 7 minutes with the Bionova® IC10/20FR or Bionova® IC10/20FRLCD, and only 4 minutes with the MiniPro auto-reader, maintaining optimal performance across various setups. • Compliance: ISO15883, HTM01-01 and AAMI ST79.
In a world where cleanliness and contamination control are paramount, the Terragene PRO 1 MICRO is poised to become an essential tool for industries requiring stringent hygiene protocols. Its high sensitivity allows for the detection of even trace amounts of protein, enabling facility managers to ensure that surfaces are not only clean but also safe for use.
Proline Medical’s commitment to innovation is evident in the design and functionality of the Terragene PRO 1 MICRO, offering users a reliable solution to meet their cleanliness standards. As facilities continue to prioritise safety and compliance, this advanced detection system is set to play a crucial role in safeguarding health and hygiene across multiple sectors.
