NanoLogix Inc., a biotechnology company in Hubbard, Ohio has unveiled a new line of tests to detect and identify aerobic live-cell bacteria. NanoLogix’s Quick-Tests, says the company, offers the research community high-sensitivity analysis results in reduced time with lower costs than traditional technologies.

NanoLogix says its Quick-Tests detect and identify live-cell bacteria, such as E.coli, salmonella, and listeria, as well as rapid identification of yeasts. Results can be obtained in as little as a quarter of the time of conventional methods, in concentrations potentially as small as a single cell.

Each Quick-Test kit provides results for fifty individual tests of the targeted bacteria. NanoLogix currently has Quick Tests available for E.coli, salmonella, and listeria with additional bacteria tests available upon request. The product line complements the company’s existing membrane and filtration technologies marketed to medical laboratories, food and beverage producers, pharmaceutical, university, and other laboratories.
