91
require at least three days for a negative result and often many more days if there are potential
92
or actual
Salmonella
present in an enriched matrix. Rapid methods for screening
Salmonella
93
have been developed, but these generally require two days of enrichment. By contrast, the
94
BAX® System detects the pathogen approximately 1.5 hours after a 12-24 hour enrichment,
95
and the DNA-based results are both reliable and reproducible, leading to quicker release of
96
cleared product.
