Hygiena’s InSite Salmonella test device has recently received AOAC RI Performance Tested MethodsSM certification. The device delivers diagnostics and software that meet global food safety requirements, while making the testing easier to do, providing faster results and at an affordable price. The latest AOAC RI approval for InSite Salmonella demonstrates the method’s sensitivity, reliability and matrix robustness.
Based on rigorous and independent analyses, the InSite Salmonella device is an easy-to-use test for the screening and detection of Salmonella enterica on food contact surfaces and other processing equipment containing stainless steel, plastic, rubber, ceramic or sealed concrete surfaces after cleaning. It is a self-contained device, which consists of a liquid medium formulated with growth enhancers and chromogenic compounds selective for Salmonella species. All InSite test devices contain neutralisers in the wetting solution to help combat potential sanitizer side effects and improve sample collection.
