Testing raw beef products for E. coli is only one piece of a larger puzzle to make sure contaminated meat doesn’t make it into grocery stores or homes.

Your objective in taking samples and performing tests as well as knowing the limitations of the test you choose are all important for microbiological testing.

Are PCR-based methods appropriate for the detection of Listeria spp. in environmental surface samples?

Rapid culture methods for Salmonella help you release product sooner.

Advances in PCR kits have lead to improvements in testing for Salmonella.  

Rapid Salmonella testing is advanced using thermocycling in conjunction with AOAC-approved methods.
