  • Qualitative process control with RM-CJ

    • Best Practice

    Process control detection method

    1. Use a quantitative reference material (RM-CJ) with a known number of Campylobacter jejuni.
    2. Defrost the material at room temperature for 30 minutes.
    3. Mix well before use.
    4. In the case of qualitative operations the contamination level of the reference material (RM-CJ) must be representative of the limit of detection.
    5. At an average contamination level of 5 cfu per control sample, the probability of using a coincidentally uninfected (negative) sample according to the Poisson spread is less than 1%.
    6. Incubate at (41,5 ± 1) °C for 24h to 48 h.
    7. Determine the absence or presence of the microorganism and register your finding in a qualitative control chart.
    8. The characteristic reaction is: Growth.
