The BAX® System E. coli O157:H7 MP enrichment media for Salmonella testing performed as well as or better than traditional culture methods, but with quicker time to result.

The AOAC Research Institute has approved the use of BAX® System E. coli O157:H7 MP enrichment media for Salmonella testing.  Validated on ground beef, beef trim, spinach and lettuce, the system performed as well as or better than traditional methods for detecting Salmonella, but with quicker time to result.

“Customers can now use the same 8-hour enrichment to test certain types of meat and fresh produce for two different pathogens,” said Linda Peng, research microbiologist – DuPont Qualicon. “This will not only save hands-on time, but the single medium will also reduce inventory and storage costs for food companies.”

With certifications and regulatory approvals in the Americas, Asia and Europe, the BAX® system is recognized globally as one of the most advanced pathogen testing systems available to food companies.
