| PremiŪTest Salmonella, the rapid serotyping test from DSM has extended the range of serotypes in the database: Banana, Paratyphi C, Corvallis, Stourbridge, Regent, Orion, Idakan and Napoli, and also Bongori and non enterica subspecies can now be identified. This brings the PremiŪTest Salmonella identification range up to 100 serotypes!
The work is a result of close cooperation with the AFSSA, the French Reference Laboratory (AFSSA-Maisons Alfort), which performed the trials for the OIE-validation.
The PremiŪTest Salmonella is designed for rapid (molecular) confirmation and serotyping of presumptive Salmonella spp. It is easy to perform for routine use and results can be obtained within 1 working day.
There are four major steps in the test process - Initial sampling of the Salmonella.
- A simple lysis process, using a heated block.
- DNA recognition: A simple three-step process that uses PCR to recognize and amplify the specific DNA sequences in the Salmonella samples.
- Detection of specific DNA sequences using a micro array, which are then translated into specific Salmonella serotypes.
A new spec sheet and list of the new serotypes identified by the PremiŪTest Salmonella is now available, please email for your copy to info.premitest@dsm.com or you can download it from the DSM website .
