[Accelerated method for microbiological control of the safety of foodstuffs].
The action and devices of rapid Singlepath (Merck KGaA) tests are considered. The Singlepath tests are used for the accelerated detection of pathogenic bacteria (Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., Listeria monocytogenes, E. coli O157) in the raw products and foodstuff. The tests as compared to conventional methods showed a high similarity of results in identifying Salmonella in raw meat material. The immunochromatographic test requires no equipment and it is characterized by simple sample preparation and high reliability. The tests are also effectively used for the rapid identification of pathogenic bacteria. The introduction of the rapid Singlepath tests reduces the time of analysis to 24-48 hours. The Singlepath tests are officially recommended by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation for practical application.
