Idaho Technology (ITI), a molecular biology instrumentation and reagents business in Salt Lake City, has announced that its Salmonella LT assay has received AOAC approval. The assay uses real-time PCR technology to identify the presence of Salmonella in food samples.
The Salmonella LT assay is used with the companies R.A.P.I.D. LT Food Security System, which uses reduced enrichment times — only 16 hours followed by PCR — paired with real-time PCR technology to provide rapid and accurate results.
The Salmonella LT assay joins ITI’s growing portfolio of assays used in conjunction with the company’s detection instruments. The assay is intended for use by trained laboratory personnel.
