AOAC Grants Listeria PCR Assay Performance Tested Methods Status
Thermo Scientific announced August 26 that its SureTect Listeria species Assay has received Performance Tested Methods status from the AOAC Research Institute. Food microbiology laboratories can now confidently test to a recognized standard for Listeria species.
The SureTect Listeria species PCR Assay has proven to be comparable to the ISO 11290-1 reference method. ISO methods are chosen by many companies against which to test human food, animal feed and environmental samples. The assay and other SureTect products are on display at the Thermo Scientific booth (208) during the AOAC Annual Meeting and Exposition at the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago, August 25-28.
