Streamline for success: higher efficiency, lower effort
With our fully automated RIDA®UNITY system, it is now also possible to obtain a precise overview of the presence of virulence factors from EHEC, EPEC, ETEC, EIEC/Shigella spp., and EAEC in one sample.
Our corresponding E. coli-specific assays
What makes our E. coli diagnostics special?
- Coverage of all relevant pathogenic groups
- Small, thematically tailored panels enable a simple syndrome-based approach or targeted testing tailored to specific requirements
- Differentiation between stx1 and stx2
- Reliable EHEC diagnostics covering all relevant Shiga toxin subtypes (1a, 1c, 1d, 2a–o)
- Further analysis of stx2-positive samples
- Ability to process stool samples, fecal swabs in Carry-Blair medium, and/or culture samples within a validated workflow
How complete is your E. coli diagnostic testing?
The RIDA®UNITY offers the flexibility to adjust sample analysis to meet all your needs.
Specific and comprehensive E. coli diagnostics using the RIDA®UNITY fully automated system

What are the benefits for your lab?

Precise results thanks to sample-specific testing in a single run
- Each sample is evaluated individually and precisely – this increases reliability and reduces the need for repeat testing
- Comprehensive E. coli diagnostics, including all pathogenic groups, in a single workflow
- Laboratory requests are imported directly from the LIS and automatically assigned to the appropriate assays
- Automatic transfer of results to the LIS

Fast results with minimal effort (2.5–4.5 hours)
- Simple workflow, short turnaround times – the lab receives results that can be used immediately with significantly reduced hands-on effort

Automated interpretation for maximum efficiency and flexible follow-up processing using reusable eluate
- The system enables easy follow-up analysis – thanks to precise sample tracking, follow-up tests can be performed without the need for additional sample preparation

Maximum efficiency through parallel processing of different sample types
- Culture samples, stool samples, and fecal swabs in Cary-Blair medium can be processed simultaneously
