New NordVal International Certificate 038 for Salmonella detection

NordVal International Certificate issued to Bio-Rad for 038 “iQ-Check Salmonella II kit” was extended and updated (Jan 2022). A completely new method comparison study was carried out on food, feed, production environmental samples and on primary production samples. The method was extended to be certified for analysing raw meats, raw dairy products and infant formula and infant cereals with or without probiotics including ingredients. The extension also included the use of the iQ-Check Free DNA Removal Solution for the Infant Formula matrix category. For all matrices, a shorter PCR (from 110 minutes down to 72 minutes) with the “Salmo Fast” APF (Assay Protocol File) was validated.
