BioChek Salmonella Species DNA Test Kit
Product code MP104

AFNOR Approved Rapid Test (certificate BCK 40/01-07/19)

Following the positive agreement of the AFNOR Technical Board expressed during its meeting held the 3rd and 4th of July 2019, AFNOR Certification approved the BioChek Salmonella Species DNA Test Kit. This approval allows worldwide implementation of this alternative test by laboratories for food safety microbiology and associated veterinary testing. It has also been sanctioned by USDA-APHIS (June 13th, 2019) for immediate use in National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) approved laboratories.

Application

The Salmonella Species DNA Test Kit has been validated against the ISO 6579-1 reference method according to ISO 16140-2: 2016 protocol, accurately detecting the presence of DNA from Salmonella species in primary production and production environment samples, animal feed products, meat products, egg and egg products, and other human foodstuffs. It has been extensively tested on poultry house environmental samples, cloacal swabs and hatchery samples derived from layers, broilers and turkeys.
