MEMP Service Corporation announces certification and accreditation milestones
MEMP Service Corporation (Molecular Environmental Monitoring Provider) is pleased to announce several milestones and the official launch of their mobile molecular environmental monitoring services. After several years of research, development, validation, field trials and third-party accreditations, the mobile biosurveillance solution has arrived. MEMP Service Corp. offers an ISO 17025 accredited molecular testing laboratory, at any location, with test results in four hours or less for a wide variety of microbial pathogens and other molecular targets.
Through a partnership with Applied Food Diagnostics, the company developed and validated the MEMP Listeria Assay and the MEMP Salmonella Assay. The outcome of this collaboration resulted in the required features needed, such as reagent shelf stability and a reduced footprint, so these assays could be performed in MEMP’s mobile laboratory fleet. Earlier this year, both MEMP Listeria and Salmonella assays received certification from the AOAC Research Institute. The AOAC-RI Performance Tested Methods Program #052003 has been assigned to the MEMP Listeria Assay and AOAC-RI Performance Tested Methods Program #042002 to Salmonella.
