Salmonella is a microorganism responsible for foodborne infections.
It is essential to know if your Salmonella method still does what it should. Reliable results are crucial, and false-negative or false-positive results must be minimal. If no Salmonella is detected, this does not necessarily mean they are absent. Limitations in testing methods, such as ineffective culture media, could lead to undetected pathogens. Reliable and accurate results are crucial, as they inform critical decisions like allowing product distribution, halting production, or downgrading products.
Daily process control using Certified Reference Material can provide insight into a method’s performance characteristics.
Biosisto has five types of Certified Reference Materials (CRM) Salmonella in stock.
The choice depends on the laboratory’s requirements and what the laboratory prefers.
| CRM | Strain | Area * | Remark |
| CRM-SE | Salmonella Enteritidis | Food-related | |
| CRM-ST | Salmonella Typhimurium | Food-related | WDCM 00031 |
| CRM-SAG | Salmonella Agona | Food-related | Lactose positive, atypical |
| CRM-STRAN | Salmonella Tranaroa | Non-Food-related | |
| CRM-SABAE | Salmonella Abaetetuba | Non-Food-related |
* Food-related CRM contains Salmonella, which can be found in food. To exclude cross-contamination with a food-related CRM, Salmonella, you can choose a non-food-related Salmonella CRM. You will very unlikely find this non-food-related Salmonella in food samples.
No worries if the desired Salmonella strain is not listed in the table!
