AOAC Expert Review Panel Final Action Feedback
The VIDAS SPT method was certified by the AOAC Research Institute
Performance Tested Method
SM
(PTM) program after the completion of a single laboratory study and an independent laboratory study.
These studies included an evaluation of the following parameters: inclusivity, exclusivity, robustness, lot-
to-lot/stability and method comparison.
AOAC Official Method: Certificate No: 2013.01
The VIDAS SPT method was also adopted as an AOAC Official Method of Analysis (OMA), First Action
status after the completion of a multi-laboratory method comparison study.
AFNOR – NF Validation: Certificate No: BIO 12/32 – 10/11
The VIDAS SPT method has been certified NF VALIDATION (AFNOR) as an alternative method for the
detection of
Salmonella
through the completion of an independent single laboratory study and a multi-
laboratory study. All of the validation studies demonstrated that the VIDAS SPT method was statistically
equivalent to the corresponding reference method for the matrices tested.
