General Description

Singlepath^® Salmonellais a rapid diagnostic test, designed to detectSalmonellabacteria in various food samples.Salmonellais a genus of bacteria that can cause human infections, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps.The Singlepath^® Salmonellais an immunochromatographic rapid test based on gold-labeled antibodies to detect the presence of a specific antigen, in this case, theSalmonellabacteria. The test includes a nitrocellulose membrane strip that is coated with antibodies specific toSalmonellaantigens. When the sample is applied to the test strip, anySalmonellaantigens present will bind to the antibodies on the strip, resulting in the development of a visible test line. The test takes approximately 20 minutes to complete, and the results are interpreted based on the presence or absence of the test line. The detection limit can be regarded as less than one colony-forming unit in a 25 g food sample, depending on the serogroup. No additional equipment expenditure is needed.
