UV-BioTAG™
It’s not uncommon for food samples to inadvertently become contaminated with control strains used in the laboratory. This leads to false-positive results which can have severe financial and regulatory implications. UV-BioTAG, our line of reference strains containing green fluorescent protein (GFP) markers, makes is easy to distinguish natural contaminants from laboratory control strains. UV-BioTAG strains feature a GFP reporter controlled by a strong promoter for highly visible fluorescence. Plus, the GFP reporter is integrated into the chromosome, providing better stability than plasmid-based reporters which may be lost during enrichments designed to recover pathogens from food.
