Searching for the Salmonella pathogen in a 25 g sample of food.
Salmonella is one of the most important agents of foodborne disease. For many food groups the regulation has the criterion "absent in 25 g of sample". The analysis consists of pre-enrichment, selective enrichment and confirmation through isolation on selective media.
The result is given as "detected / not detected in 25 g". For positive results, confirmation and, if needed, serotyping are done for an extra fee.
If Listeria and Enterobacteriaceae are requested together with Salmonella from the same sample, a package price applies; a screening (PCR) option is available for faster results.
