In recent years, foodborne pathogen contamination incidents have occurred frequently worldwide. Pathogens such as Salmonella and Listeria not only pose a serious threat to public health but also cause enormous losses to the global economy. In the process of building public health defenses, achieving rapid and accurate identification of high-risk pathogens has become crucial for ensuring food safety, and improving diagnostic efficiency.

BacTrace® Antibacterial Antibody

SeraCare's KPL BacTrace® series of antibacterial antibody product portfolio is an immunological reagent specifically developed for foodborne pathogens (Food Pathology) and bacterial infectious disease pathogens (Infectious Disease). It is primarily used in diagnostic reagent development and microbiological research. It covers key pathogenic bacteria that cause significant global economic losses, such as Salmonella, Listeria, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Helicobacter pylori, and Vibrio cholerae. Whether targeting bacterial surface antigens or intracellular antigens, this series provides high-specificity identification solutions. Thanks to its excellent performance, SeraCare KPL BacTrace® antibodies have become a trusted choice for research and diagnosis in foodborne and infectious disease fields.

Core Advantages of BacTrace® Product Series

Unique 'Dual-Effect' Production Process: Utilizing a proprietary immunization and purification strategy, it perfectly integrates the high capture efficiency of polyclonal antibodies with the high specificity similar to monoclonal antibodies, achieving stronger detection signals and lower background noise. This addresses the technical pain points of 'high background of traditional polyclonals and narrow coverage of monoclonals'.

High Specificity (Low False Positives): Utilizes a proprietary affinity purification process. This removes non-specifically bound impurities, ensuring that the antibody reacts only with the target bacterial antigen, thereby significantly reducing false positive interference and enhancing the reliability of test results.

High Sensitivity (Signal Amplification): Leveraging the ability of polyclonal antibodies to recognize multiple distinct epitopes on the same antigen. This significantly amplifies the detection signal, ensuring that even when the target concentration is extremely low, it can be accurately captured, achieving 'maximized detection'.

Exceptional batch-to-batch consistency: Relying on KPL's strict QC processes, it ensures high consistency in antibody performance across different batches, avoiding experimental errors caused by reagent differences. This feature greatly simplifies the process validation for IVD and food safety test reagent manufacturers, helping products quickly pass registration approval.

Broad-spectrum coverage and in-depth identification: It has the broad-spectrum reactivity across serogroups, covering a wider range of bacterial serogroups. It identifies the entire antigen spectrum from surface structures to intracellular components, ensuring comprehensive detection and effectively preventing missed detections.

BacTrace® Series Product Applications

In Vitro Diagnostic Raw Materials: As core raw materials for IVD, they are used to produce immunological test strips or test kits

Food Safety Testing: Rapid Screening for the Presence of Specific Bacterial Antigens in Samples

Microbiology Research: For the identification, classification, and study of pathogenic mechanisms of bacteria

Positive control: A quality control material in the laboratory to ensure the effectiveness of the detection system

SeraCare KPL BacTrace® antibody supports multiple application formats including ELISA, WB, IHC, IF, and FC, and offers various labeling options such as unlabeled, HRP, AP, Biotin, and FITC to meet diverse experimental needs.

KPL (Kinetic Plasmonics Laboratories) is a company with a deep history and excellent reputation in the field of biosciences. As one of the earliest biotechnology companies to commercialize affinity-purified secondary antibodies, KPL has laid a solid foundation for its development through its pioneering position in this area. Additionally, KPL is one of the world's largest producers of secondary antibodies and substrate color development systems, boasting nearly 40 years of product R&D experience and accumulating rich professional knowledge and technical strength. The company has obtained ISO13485 quality system certification, ensuring that all products have minimal batch-to-batch variation and reliable quality. KPL's products are characterized by high purity, high sensitivity, and high signal-to-noise ratio (strong signal, low background), and are trusted by researchers and diagnostic enterprises alike. In 2013, KPL was acquired by SeraCare, a supplier of in vitro diagnostic reagents, further consolidating its leading position in the industry. Founded in 1984, SeraCare is a major partner to global in vitro diagnostic manufacturers and clinical laboratories, and became part of the LGC Group in 2018.

As the China general agent of LGC·Seracare·KPL brand, XMJ is committed to promoting KPL products in China, providing high-quality products and professional services to a wide range of scientific researchers.
