Gold Standard Diagnostics Microgen® Path-Chek® Salmonella

Microgen® Path-Chek® Salmonella (media only) for the rapid detection of Salmonella from work surfaces and the processing environment. Test principle of Path-Chek® Salmonella: Bacteria are recovered from the surface of food manufacturing or processing equipment using a pre-moistened swab, which is capable of neutralising commonly employed detergents and sanitisers. The sample swab is then transferred into an organism specific media (swabs have a conveniently located break point so that they can easily be broken off into the growth media). Path-Chek® Salmonella are incubated at 35-37°C for 18-24 hours If the specific target bacteria are present on the sample swabs, bacterial growth will cause the colour of the media to change.
