Hi-PCR® Salmonella Food Detection Kit

The kit is developed for simple and rapid detection of Salmonella spp. from variety of food samples after enrichment according to AOAC guidelines followed by a multiplex PCR assay designed for the specific detection of the targeted organisms. Salmonellosis is a major public health concern worldwide resulting in thousands of deaths. This foodborne disease is caused by Salmonella, a rod shaped, gram-negative non-spore forming bacterium, a member of Enterobacteriaceae family. The mode of infection is through contaminated food. The traditional culture based detection takes longer for detection of Salmonella, hence, need for new, quick and sensitive methods to detect Salmonella spp. is a major concern for food industry.
