Cholera is a disease of the intestine caused by infection with the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, which can be spread by contaminated water or food, including seafood. In case of infection, symptoms like diarrhea or vomiting can cause severe dehydration. Because the contamination with Vibrio cholerae can occur in water supplies, in foods and in the seafood supply chain, detection and timely counteraction of possible contamination is important and can be ensured by testing.

The Vibrio Cholerae Detection Kit is designed to accurately detect the presence of Vibrio cholerae by utilizing Real-Time PCR technology to help laboratories, food safety teams, water quality testing facilities, and quality control personnel strengthen their pathogen detection capabilities. Early detection and intervention allows for control of contamination, implementation of better sanitation practices, monitoring of safer foods and water, and public health and quality control measures to make better informed decisions.
