DuPont BAX System assay for Salmonella detection

A test for detecting foodborne Salmonella with the DuPont BAX system has been certified as Performance Tested Method #081201 by the AOAC Research Institute. This assay uses powerful polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology with real-time detection to deliver fast, accurate results.

This Salmonella assay may help food companies that require certified testing methods release products faster, saving inventory costs and extending shelf life.

The AOAC Research Institute - a non-profit, international, scientific organisation that administers the Performance Tested Methods program - provides an independent, third-party assessment of proprietary analytical methods to ensure that products perform as claimed. Validation of this assay found it to be an effective method for detecting Salmonella in raw ground beef, chicken rinses, cream cheese, bagged lettuce, dry pet food and on stainless steel surfaces.
