WILMINGTON, Del. — The AOAC Research Institute in Gaithersburg, Md. has extended its certification of DuPont Qualicon’s BAX system Salmonella assay as a Performance Tested method for use on environmental samples.
Validation studies comparing the BAX system to traditional culture methods for detecting Salmonella on stainless steel, concrete and other surfaces found that the BAX system demonstrated the same level of accuracy but shaved days off the time to result, the company said.
“The good news for customers, especially those who require certified methods, is that they can improve operational efficiencies while saving time and money by using a single, highly reliable test — the BAX system Salmonella assay — for all sample types,” said Kevin Huttman, president, DuPont Qualicon.
