QuantiPath Introduces Turkey KPI Kits for Salmonella Detection and Quantification

DENVER — QuantiPath, a supplier of quantitative food safety diagnostics, announced the availability of its Turkey KPI Kits, designed to help turkey producers detect, quantify and act on Salmonella risk within the same production shift.

Built on QuantiPath's multiplex qPCR platform, the Turkey KPI Kits deliver serovar-specific insights while also providing total Salmonella quantification, said the comopany. The product was designed to provide operators with clearer visibility into pathogen pressure, allowing teams to validate interventions, monitor trends and make faster, data-driven decisions.

"Turkey processors need information they can trust and timing that matches the speed of their operations," said John LoPorto, CEO of QuantiPath. "Our KPI kits are built to provide actionable answers in hours, not days."

The Turkey KPI Kits provide quantitative measurement of individual critical Salmonella serotypes to track performance against industry and government KPIs aligned to turkey production risks. Same-shift results support immediate interventions, and multiplex testing maximizes the amount of data obtained from each run, said QuantiPath.

The tests can also be deployed upstream to monitor Salmonella in live birds to identify and validate mitigation measures such as vaccines. The kits are designed to work with common multi-channel qPCR thermocyclers already in use in many laboratories, the company said.
