title: Comparative validation study to demonstrate the equivalence of a minor modification to AOAC Method 999.09 [Visual Immunoprecipitate (VIP) for Salmonella] to the reference culture methods.
abstract: The Visual Immunoprecipitate (VIP) for the Detection of Salmonella in Foods, AOAC Official Method 999.09, has been modified to use a simplified housing for the device. A methods comparison study was conducted to demonstrate the equivalence of this modification to the reference culture method. Three foods were analyzed. In total, valid results were obtained from 125 samples and controls. Results showed that the modified VIP for Salmonella is equivalent to the reference culture methods for the detection of Salmonella.
