Validation of the Thermo Scientific SureTect Real-Time PCR Method for Detection of Salmonella in Food and Environmental Samples

The Thermo Scientific SureTect Salmonella species Assay is a new Real-Time PCR test for the detection of Salmonella from food, animal feeds and environmental samples. The purpose of the study presented in this scientific poster is to validate the Thermo Scientific SureTect Salmonella species Assay according to AOAC Research Institute (RI) Performance Tested Methods validation criteria. The results demonstrate the SureTect Salmonella species assay reliably detected the presence of Salmonella in a wide variety of matrices.
