Thermo Scientific™ SureTect™ Salmonella species, Typhimurium and Enteritidis Multiplex Flex Assay

Descripción

Enhance the detection and differentiation of various Salmonella species, including Salmonella ser. Typhimurium and Salmonella ser. Enteritidis, with the Thermo Scientific™ SureTect™ Salmonella Species, Typhimurium and Enteritidis Multiplex Flex Assay.

With this kit, you can confidently ensure accuracy and expedite product release, as it provides results in as little as 22 hours. The workflows for testing raw ground turkey and primary production samples have been validated by AFNOR (ISO 16140-2:2016) and AOAC-RI, ensuring reliable and consistent outcomes.

To further streamline your testing process, the SureTect™ assay is compatible with the Applied Biosystems™ 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System or Applied Biosystems™ QuantStudio™ 5 Food Safety Real-Time PCR System. These systems offer high-performance capabilities and are designed specifically for food safety applications.

The new SureTect Flex Assay incorporates color-coded plastics with orientation markings and breakable strip format, colored reagents and pierceable seals to enable an optimized workflow for maximum laboratory efficiency and productivity.

For 375-g raw ground turkey samples and primary production samples, enriched samples undergo selective capture and concentration of Salmonella, using Dynabeads™ anti-Salmonella and automated immunomagnetic separation with the KingFisher™ Flex Purification System with 96 Deep-Well Head. The purified samples are eluted directly into Lysis Reagent 1 and Proteinase K for lysis. Lysates are transferred to the Salmonella Multiplex (SP/SE/ST) PCR Tubes to rehydrate the lyophilized PCR pellet. The PCR tubes are sealed, loaded into the real-time PCR instrument, and the run is started using the RapidFinder™ software.

Benefits include:

• Faster decisions -  Earlier product release (negative results) and quicker interventions (positive results) due to simultaneous detection (three tests in one) and a reduced time-to-result compared with culture methods
• Cost reductions - Up to 50% consumable cost savings compared with running individual PCR tests for Salmonella species, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Salmonella Enteritidis.
• Increased efficiency -  Save valuable technician time with single, non-proprietary enrichment, ready-to-use reagents, simple sample preparation, and simultaneous identification.

The RapidFinder System is an optimized solution combining speed and performance in an easy-to-use, cost-effective platform—giving you results you can trust.
