Solus One Salmonella next-day detection

Solus One Salmonella offers laboratories a single enrichment step method to screen samples for Salmonella spp in just 24 h. Awarded by AOAC for the detection of Salmonella spp in environmental and selected food products, the product enables quality control personnel to confidently release product to the market, reducing inventory levels and limiting loss through contamination.

The product is the latest addition to the Solus Scientific pathogen system range, comprising specifically designed immunoassay kits, dedicated selective enrichment media and automated liquid handling. It utilises next-generation ELISA plate technology that is said to increase available antigen binding sites, allowing reduced enrichment times and improved sensitivity.

Solus has partnered with Dynex DS2 to provide a fully automated testing solution, providing high throughput and reducing technicians’ hands-on time. A barcoding system provides full traceability of each sample, designed to reduce the possibility of human error.

The complete Dynex DS2 automated system allows for total testing flexibility and scalability. At any one time the DS2 can read two 96-well plates, allowing up to 186 samples to be processed simultaneously with a maximum of 372 samples in a day with only 2 h of hands-on assay time. This capability allows the laboratory to cope with any changing test loads.
