Hygiena Salmonella test
20th of March 2017
Hygiena International says its InSite Salmonella micro-organism colorimetric test is rapid, convenient and extremely accurate. It combines both swab, pre-enrichment and selective enrichment in a single self-contained swab device for testing environmental surfaces, giving results in 24 hours.
According to the European Food Safety Authority, around 100,000 cases of Salmonella are reported every year in the EU. In-Site is designed for use on food contact surfaces, processing equipment and general environmental samples - it combines the principal steps of pre-enrichment and selective enrichment in an all-in-one swab device.
The test consists of a large sponge swab pre-wetted with a neutralising agent – to counter the effects of residual sanitisers – and a pre-enrichment broth to enable the detection of low numbers of Salmonella.
