DuPont Diagnostics Announces VWR as Exclusive Distributor in the United States

DuPont Diagnostics, a part of DuPont Nutrition & Health, has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with VWR, an independent global provider of products, services and solutions to laboratory and production facilities. This agreement allows VWR exclusive rights within the United States to sell the DuPont BAX System Q7 instrument, assays, and related products as its only PCR-based pathogen detection solution to the food industry.

 

“The ability for our customers to order all their laboratory equipment and supplies – including BAX System assays and disposables – from a single location is a great advantage for our U.S. customer base,” said DuPont Nutrition & Health Diagnostics Sales Leader – Americas, Troy Ayers. “Customers now have access to VWR’s ‘one-stop shopping,’ providing the convenience and support they deserve.”

 

The BAX System provides advanced, automated testing for foodborne pathogens, spoilage organisms, and other microbes in raw ingredients, finished products, and manufacturing environments. The system breaks down samples at the genetic level using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), then uses target-specific primers to automatically detect the presence or absence of the target bacterial DNA and provide clear “yes or no” results.
