InstantLabs® E. coli O157 Food Safety Kit.

The InstantLabs® E. coli O157 Food Safety Kit was validated against the International Organization for Standardization reference method 16654 for the detection of Escherichia coli O157. The matrixes, raw ground beef, raw beef trim, Romaine lettuce, pasteurized apple juice, and raw ground chicken, were inoculated with appropriate CFU/test portion of E.

InstantLabs® Salmonella species detection method: matrix extension.

The performance of InstantLabs® Salmonella Species Food Safety Kit to detect Salmonella in four food matrixes was validated against the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) reference method 6579:2002. The matrixes (raw ground beef, raw chicken breast, raw ground chicken, and lettuce) were inoculated with low levels of Salmonella (<1 CFU/test portion) to generate fractional positives (5-15) in 20 inoculated samples. These matrixes were co-inoculated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 at two to five times the level of Salmonella.

InstantLabs®? Salmonella species food safety kit.

The InstantLabs® Salmonella Species Food Safety Kit was validated against the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) reference method* 6579:2002 for the detection of Salmonella species. The matrixes (unprocessed rolled oats, wheat flour, and oat flour) were inoculated with 1 CFU/test portion of Salmonella to generate fractional positives (5-15) in 20 inoculated samples. The inatrixes were co-inoculated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 at 2-5 times the level of Salmonella to demonstrate the potential for using the same enrichment culture in the future to detect of multiple organisms.

InstantLabs Listeria monocytogenes food safety kit. Performance tested method 051304.

The InstantLabs Listeria monocytogenes Food Safety Kit was validated against the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) reference method 11290-1 for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes and other Listeria species. The matrixes (stainless steel, sealed concrete, ice cream, whole milk, cheddar cheese, raw shrimp, hot dogs, deli turkey, and lettuce) were inoculated with approximately 1 CFU/test portion of L. monocytogenes to generate fractional positives (5-15) in 20 inoculated samples.

InstantLabs Listeria species food safety kit. Performance tested methods 041304.

The InstantLabs Listeria Species Food SafetyKitwas validated against the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) reference method 11290-1 for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes and other Listeria species. The matrixes (stainless steel, sealed concrete, cheddar cheese, raw shrimp, and hot dogs) were inoculated with approximately 1 CFU/test portion of various Listeria species to generate fractional positives (5-15) in 20 inoculated samples. Enrichments were also fractionally inoculated with L.
