| BBL CHROMagar Salmonella is a selective and differential medium for the isolation and presumptive identification of Salmonella species from a variety of food products. BBL CHROMagar Salmonella has been validated by the AOAC Research Institute (AOAC™-RI) under the Performance Tested [SM] Methods Program, Certification No. 020502.
As a single plate methodology under the AOAC-RI Performance Tested Methods Program: - 100% correlation to official methods (USDA, FDA and ISO)[ref 1-3]
- Presumptive identification of Salmonella species
- 50% reduction in plated media costs versus official methods
- · Reduction in ancillary biochemical / screening costs
Simplified single plate workflow: Sample Preparation
& Incubation [ref 1-3] | |  | Inoculate BBL
CHROMagar Salmonella | | | | | | - Salmonella species produce mauve (rose to purple) colored colonies
- Presumptive identification of Salmonella species
- Time to detection as early as 24 hours
- Final read for negativity at 48 hours
Cost effective: - Reduction in number of primary plated media
- Reduction in unnecessary biochemical tests from suspected colonies
- Overall reduction in labor, time and expense
