Salmonella test receives 'Official Method' status

Neogen has received Official Method status from AOAC International for its 24-hour GeneQuence salmonella diagnostic test system. The test combines the superior specificity of DNA hybridisation technology with the ability to process rapidly up to 372 samples at once using a fully automated method, or a small number of samples by hand. This new method reflects the use of Neogen's new 24-hour salmonella enrichment protocol for select foods.

A major advantage of GeneQuence's DNA hybridisation technology is its highly specific probes, which virtually eliminate false negatives and greatly minimise the chance of receiving false positive results from cross-reactivity with closely related organisms.

This specificity helps eliminate needless confirmation effort and cost, and helps streamline a company's safety and quality processes. It allows companies to ship product sooner with greater confidence, thereby improving their supply chain efficiency and lowering overall costs.
