Is the
First Action Official Method of Analysis SM (OMA method number 2013.09) for the
detection of Salmonella in selected foods.
3M’s Molecular
Detection Assay Salmonella was introduced in December 2011 at the same time as
the 3M™ Molecular Detection System as a means to help food processors and other
parties detect Salmonella and thereby help to prevent salmonellosis, which
affects millions of people each year. It received certification from the
AOAC-Research Institute as a Performance Tested Methods (PTM) in April 2012.
The
Official Methods of Analysis (OMA), AOAC INTERNATIONAL’s premier,
internationally recognized program for chemical, microbial and molecular
biological testing methods, consists of a multi-laboratory validation of the
method, and review by an expert panel. Methods assigned AOAC-OMA Final Action
status are used throughout the world by standards organizations who rely on
OMA’s reputation for rigorous scientific and systematic scrutiny.
“Food
safety is increasingly recognized throughout the world as a crucial to human,
social and economic development,” said DeAnn Benesh, 3M Food Safety regulatory
affairs specialist. “Our commitment to partnering with leaders in food and
science to offer accurate, effective and easily implemented testing solutions
is unwavering, and we’re proud to have received this OMA First Action approval
from the AOAC’s distinguished review committee.”
The 3M
Molecular Detection System offers a unique, reliable and rapid qualitative
method of pathogen detection in enriched food and feed, as well as food
manufacturing environment samples. Developed with insights from customers
around the world and representing multiple food industries, the system
integrates two innovative technologies – isothermal DNA amplification and
bioluminescence detection. Additional assay test kits are available for E. coli
O157 (including H7), Listeria and Listeria monocytogenes.
