to 225 mL LPT broth, prewarmed at 18-25°C.
10
6.6.1.1.1
Mix in a Stomacher® bag with filter for 2 min.
11
6.6.1.1.2
Incubate 26-30 hr at 30 ± 1°C.

6.6.1.2
Soft Mexican Cheese (125g)
- aseptically add the 125g test
13
portion to 375 mL LPT broth. prewarmed at 18-25°C.
14
6.6.1.2.1
Mix in a Stomacher® bag with filter for 2 min.
15
6.6.1.2.2
Incubate 24-30 hr at 30 ± 1°.
16
6.6.1.2.3

Detection
20
6.6.2.1 After incubation, transfer 0.5 mL of the enriched sample into an
21
LPT strip. Place strip onto the VIDAS Heat and Go for 5 ± 1 min.
22
Cool the strip for 10 min and perform the VIDAS assay.
23
6.6.2.2 Store the enriched test portion at 2-8°C in case confirmation is
24
required.

Analysis
27
6.7.1
For complete instructions, see the VIDAS or Mini VIDAS Operator’s
28
Manual.
29
6.7.2
Enter factory master calibration curve data into the instrument using the
30
master lot entry (MLE) card.
31
6.7.3
Remove the kit reagents and materials from refrigerated storage and allow
32
them to come to room temperature for at least 30 min.
33
6.7.4
Use one VIDAS LPT Reagent Strip and one VIDAS LPT SPR for each
34
sample, control or standard to be tested. Reseal the storage pouch after
35
removing the required number of SPRs.
36
6.7.5
Enter the test code by typing or selecting “LPT” on the instrument. If the
37
standard is to be tested, identify the standard by “S1” and test in duplicate.
38
If the positive control is to be tested, identify it by “C1.” If the negative
39
control is to be tested, identify it by “C2.”
40
41
6.7.5.1 NOTE: The standard must be tested upon receipt of a new lot of
42
reagents and then every 14 days. The relative fluorescence value
43
(RFV) of the standard must fall within the set range provided with
44
the kit.
