RapidChek® SELECT™ Salmonella
RapidChek SELECT Salmonella system
The RapidChek SELECT Salmonella Test System was developed to ensure highly accurate results in both low burden samples and samples that contain high levels of background microflora which include cross reacting and competitive bacteria.
The SELECT system employs a proprietary media supplemented with phage. This is a patented technology for SDIX(US Patent 7,521,201). It is the first rapid pathogen detection system to utilize phage as a selective agent during enrichment.
 |
The phage attack and reduce concentrations of non-target bacteria allowing Salmonella
to grow freely. This technology will essentially reduce the presence of
cross reactive and competitive bacteria, especially important when
testing higher burden samples.
|
This technology coupled with innovative immuno-strips delivers the high sensitivity and specificity of the system.
Benefits of the RapidChek SELECT System:
• Fewer False Results
• Painless, Easy to Use Protocol
• Lower Overall Testing Costs
The RapidChek SELECT Salmonella Test System is the complete testing solution for processors testing samples from ready-to-eat food and environmental samples to the higher burden raw meat and NPIP samples.
