Supplier:  Thermo Scientific™ A56847

Catalog No. A56847

Description

Enhance the detection and differentiation of various Salmonella species, including Salmonella ser. Typhimurium and Salmonella ser. Enteritidis, with the Thermo Scientific™ RapidFinder™ Salmonella Species, Typhimurium and Enteritidis Multiplex  Flex Kit.
With this kit, you can confidently ensure accuracy and expedite product release, as it provides results within a short timeframe of 22 to 26 hours. The workflows for testing raw ground turkey and primary production samples have been validated by AFNOR (ISO 16140-2:2016) and AOAC-RI, ensuring reliable and consistent outcomes.
To further streamline your testing process, the RapidFinder™ kit is compatible with the Applied Biosystems™ 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System or Applied Biosystems™ QuantStudio™ 5 Food Safety Real-Time PCR System. These systems offer high-performance capabilities and are designed specifically for food safety applications.

The new RapidFinder Flex Kit incorporates color-coded plastics with orientation markings and breakable strip format, colored reagents and pierceable seals to enable an optimized workflow for maximum laboratory efficiency and productivity.

For 375-g raw ground turkey samples and primary production samples, enriched samples undergo selective capture and concentration of Salmonella, using Dynabeads™ anti-Salmonella and automated immunomagnetic separation with the KingFisher™ Flex Purification System with 96 Deep-Well Head. The purified samples are eluted directly into Lysis Reagent 1 and Proteinase K for lysis. Lysates are transferred to the Salmonella Multiplex (SP/SE/ST) PCR Tubes to rehydrate the lyophilized PCR pellet. The PCR tubes are sealed, loaded into the real-time PCR instrument, and the run is started using the RapidFinder™ software.

Benefits include:

• Faster decisions -  Earlier product release (negative results) and quicker interventions (positive results) due to simultaneous detection (three tests in one) and a reduced time-to-result compared with culture methods
• Cost reductions - Up to 50% consumable cost savings compared with running individual PCR tests for Salmonella species, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Salmonella Enteritidis.
• Increased efficiency -  Save valuable technician time with single, non-proprietary enrichment, ready-to-use reagents, simple sample preparation, and simultaneous identification.

The RapidFinder System is an optimized solution combining speed and performance in an easy-to-use, cost-effective platform—giving you results you can trust.
