bioMérieux Inc. Obtains AOAC Approval for GENE-UP QUANT Salmonella Assay
Salmonella detection has been a mainstay requirement in the food industry to prevent foodborne illness. While enrichment-based assays for the presence or absence detection of food pathogens are still vital to a safe and abundant global food supply, the food industry needs an easy and reliable diagnostic solution to accurately quantify levels of Salmonella to aid in process and product disposition decisions at the operational level.
bioMérieux delivers on this need with breakthrough “real-time” quantitative analysis for Salmonella with the first-ever AOAC-approved PCR assay for the enrichment-free quantification of Salmonella in foods. The AOAC Research Institute Performance Tested Methods℠ certification (PTM 061801) is for the true direct quantification of Salmonella, aptly named GENE-UP® QUANT Salmonella.
