PERFORMANCE The GENE ‑ UP ® Salmonella 2 (SLM 2) method with an enrichment step at +41.5°C, has been certified NF VALIDATION as an alternative analysis method for the detection of Salmonella in all human food products, except raw milk products, by conducting validation assays on a broad range of food and environmental samples excluding environment of primary production stage. The GENE ‑ UP ® Salmonella 2 (SLM 2) method with an enrichment step at +37°C, has been certified NF VALIDATION as an alternative analysis method for the detection of Salmonella in all human food products, by conducting validation assays on a broad range of food, pet food, and environmental samples excluding environment of primary production stage. This validation has been obtained by comparison with the reference method described in the international standard EN ISO 6579 according to the standard EN ISO 16140 ‑ 2. 10,11,12 The BIO-XX/XX- XX/XX certificate can be obtained from our Technical Assistance Dept. or from AFNOR Certification.
