BACGene GO Salmonella Tranoroa: Smart Process Control PCR Detection Assay for Reliable Salmonella Testing
Salmonella is one of the leading causes of foodborne illness worldwide and remains a major concern for the food industry. Because of its widespread presence and impact on food safety, Salmonella testing is strictly regulated under the microbiological criteria of the Codex Alimentarius Standard.
To comply with audit and accreditation requirements, laboratories must include positive process controls in their testing workflows. However, these controls may introduce a critical challenge: preventing cross-contamination between the control strain and routine samples, which can lead to false positives and uncertainty in batch release decisions.
A Reliable Control Strategy
Salmonella Tranoroa, a serovar belonging to Salmonella enterica subsp. salamae, provides a safe and effective control strain for laboratory workflows.
- Never associated with foodborne outbreaks
- Well-characterized and available as Certified Reference Material
Using S. Tranoroa to prepare positive enrichment enables laboratories to:
- Implement robust process monitoring
- Minimize the risk of unnoticed cross-contamination
- Train analysts safely on Salmonella testing methods
- Support microbial monitoring of production processes
BACGene GO Salmonella Tranoroa - fast confirmation of control strain contamination
The BACGene GO Salmonella Tranoroa kit is a real-time PCR assay designed for the specific and exclusive detection of Salmonella enterica subsp. salamae serotype Tranoroa in food, feed, and environmental samples.
When a BACGene GO Salmonella spp. PCR test returns a positive result, laboratories can immediately determine whether the signal originates from the Tranoroa control strain or from a true Salmonella contamination event.
Presumptive positives can be re-tested rapidly and reliably directly from the original lysates, enabling rapid troubleshooting without additional equipment or complex workflows.
