AES Laboratoire has launched a new rapid and simple method to detect Salmonella in food stuffs, animal feed products and environmental samples. SMS (Simple Method Salmonella) takes just 30 to 44 hours to give a result.

These rapid results (30 to 44 hours for a positive result, 44 hours for a negative result) include enrichment time.

The SMS method is based on a patented gel, where a clear indication of the presence of Salmonella is given by the change of colour of the gel from green to red.

The SMS method has been validated according to the new NF EN ISO 16140 standard.
