Rapid enzyme-linked immunoassay for detection of salmonella in food and feed products: Performance testing program

The BIOLINE Salmonella ELISA Test for Salmonella spp., which is a rapid, ea sy, and convenient assay was evaluated for use in detecting Salmonella in f oods and feeds, Each food matrix or feed was artificially contaminated with low levels of Salmonella, Twenty different matrixes were studied and 20 di fferent Salmonella strains from a broad variety of serogroups (B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, M, O, P, and U) were used. The ELISA Test kit detected levels a s low as 1 cfu/25 g sample with at least 4 of the 20 matrixes tested. The t est kit is applicable to all sample types tested, The BIOLINE Salmonella EL ISA Test kit has been granted AOAC-RI performance tested status.
