Efficient detection of Salmonella, Cronobacter, and Enterobacteriaceae is vital for food safety, and is a critical part of production environment monitoring.

AsureQuality offers a combination test which analyses a single swab sample for the presence of all three microbes. Using a single swab sample to detect all three targets provides a reliable approach while optimising end to end resources and enabling you to save on swabs.

Our strategy of combining detection-only tests that share a common enrichment broth maintains the full integrity of the original sample. This is essential for ensuring that the pathogen's presence is accurately identified, even at low levels of contamination.

Samples can be registered against one of the following combination test codes, which automatically initiates testing for the associated individual analyses listed. Results are reported for each individual analysis.

We offer three combination test options:

1. Salmonella (Gene-Up PCR) + Cronobacter (Gene-up PCR) 
2. Salmonella (Gene-Up PCR) + Cronobacter (Gene-up PCR) + Enterobacteriaceae Detection (ISO 21528-1) 
3. Cronobacter (Gene-up PCR) + Enterobacteriaceae Detection (ISO 21528-1)
