BioControl has released a faster version of its Assurance GDS Salmonella Tq test. The current method provides results in as little as 18 hours and has full AOAC OMA approval (method 2209.03). The updated version has an eight-hour enrichment in mEHEC media, providing results in select matrices in just 10 hours, including sample processing.
The company’s mEHEC media has previously been validated for use with Assurance GDS E. coli O157:H7 and Top STEC assays. The Salmonella test enables results for Salmonella in addition to E. coli O157:H7 and Top STEC from a single enriched sample.
The use of a harmonised enrichment media for these assays can help streamline testing programs and control costs by eliminating the need to prepare multiple samples. The media enables the fast test and release of product which can reduce costs, particularly in the beef and fresh produce industries.
The company has received AOAC-PTM Certification (#050602) for its Assurance GDS Salmonella Tq mEHEC method from the AOAC Research Institute’s Performance Tested Methods SM Program. In addition to Salmonella, the Assurance GDS platform includes assays for E coli O157:H7, Shiga Toxin Genes, Top 6 and 7 STEC, Listeria spp, Listeria monocytogenes and Cronobacter.
