The BAX® System Real-Time Salmonella is an AOAC OMA and AFNOR-certified PCR assay for food pathogen detection, delivering rapid Salmonella testing results in approximately 60 minutes after enrichment. Designed for food processors and testing laboratories, the assay covers a comprehensive range of matrices including meat, poultry, dairy, produce, pet food, chocolate, ready-to-eat, seafood, and environmental samples. The SalQuant feature provides true quantitative contamination level estimation in poultry, beef, and pork matrices— offering a faster alternative to traditional MPN methods. With lyophilised reagents in a single-tube format and integrated internal controls, the BAX® System streamlines workflows while ensuring reliable, reproducible detection across diverse food matrices.
- Accurate results: trust results due to a high sensitivity and specificity, differentiates closely related species, meaning fewer re-tests and less waste of truly safe food
- Easy-to-use: few pipetting steps, simple sample and reagent handling
- Rapid results: reduced time to results enables faster decisions, dozens of protocols to ensure faster detection/quantitation for your specific matrix of concern
- Simplified workflow: increase lab productivity with streamlined protocols, less hands-on time frees technician time for other lab work
- Proven protocols: validated methods across many applications & matrices, specific methods for the most commonly affected matrices
- Quantify contamination: assay designed to quantitate microorganism numbers, evaluate the effectiveness of cleaning interventions based on microorganism numbers
