Quality Testing Matters
The Advantages of qPCR Testing
- Get results faster. Stop waiting for plating and get results next day, not next week!
- Eliminate false positives with assays that detect targets based on their unique genetic signature
- Scale your operation with solutions that are easily automated with liquid handling robotics.
Powerful Assays
PathoSEEK® qPCR Detection Assays
Choose any combination of the following PathoSEEK Multiplex Assays to test raw materials, in-process and finished products.
- PathoSEEK Salmonella, E. coli, & Staph aureus Multiplex Assay
- PathoSEEK Salmonella & E. coli Multiplex Assay
- PathoSEEK Staph & Pseudomonas Multiplex Assay
Smart Equipment
Myra Liquid Handler
- Hands Free. Myra performs all but one pipette step needed to prep samples and setup qPCR
- Smart. Myra comes pre-loaded with PathoSEEK protocols, and will tell users where to place tubes on the deck
- Accurate. Best in class accuracy and precision means you can trust your results
- Compact. Half the size of other liquid handlers in her class
Smart Equipment
Mic qPCR
- Fast. Patented magnetic induction technology delivers quicker results than competitors
- Accurate. Reproducibility across multiple runs is better than within a single 96 well run on many other cyclers, without calibration.
- Compact. Taking up less than 36 square inches, Mic easily fits into your operations

Common Questions
from QA and Lab Teams
Traditional culture methods take 3–5 days. Our workflow uses a ~20–24 hr enrichment step, followed by sub-2 hour qPCR instrument run, delivering results the next day, not next week.
We specifically stress-tested our method on PCR-inhibitor-rich matrices: botanical powders with polyphenols and tannins, MCT oil, and vitamin gummies with sugars. An internal amplification control flags inhibition on every sample, so you never get a false negative without knowing it.
No. Any trained lab technician can run the workflow thanks to the The Myra Liquid Handler, which can perform DNA extraction and qPCR plate setup. Most teams are fully operational within weeks of onboarding.
Three independent studies conducted by Cambium Analytica (NSF-certified CRO) successfully demonstrated the equivalency of PathoSEEK® qPCR Detection Assays with MaGiC Lysis Kit to USP compendial plating methods.
PathoSEEK® Salmonella, E. coli, and Staph Multiplex detects the USP <2022> specified organisms common in finished-product specifications under 21 CFR Part 111.
PathoSEEK® Staph & Pseudomonas Multiplex adds Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a concern in water-containing and lipid-based formats such as liquids, gummies, and oils.
PathoSEEK® Salmonella & E. coli Multiplex offers a simplified option for labs and manufacturers whose specifications require only those two organisms.
Our team handles method transfer support directly — including helping you build the validation documentation your QA file needs. Most customers are up and running within 4–8 weeks of instrument delivery.
