Methods: The SureTect method was compared to the reference method detailed in ISO 6579:2002. Results: The SureTect Salmonella species assay reliably detected the presence of Salmonella in a wide variety of matrices. Introduction The Thermo Scientific SureTect Salmonella species Assay (PT0100A) is a new Real-Time PCR test for the detection of Salmonella from food, animal feeds and environmental samples, which combines pre-dispensed lysis reagent and lyophilised, tableted PCR reagents to simplify and improve assay handling, along with dedicated software to run the assays as well as interpret and display PCR results. This study was conducted using the AOAC RI Performance Tested Methods SM program 1 to validate the SureTect Salmonella species assay in comparison to the reference method detailed in ISO 6579:2002 2 with a variety of food matrices. Methods Sample Preparation Bulk samples of foods were screened for natural contamination with Salmonella before splitting into three samples; unspiked (control), low spiked (0.2-2 CFU/25g and high spiked (2-5 CFU/25g) samples. Once spiked, all samples were allowed to equilibrate as per AOAC instructions. Surface samples of stainless steel were spiked with a suspension of Salmonella. Where samples were not paired as in the case of surface samples and raw ground beef analysis with the 8h enrichment protocol, additional separate samples were prepared. SureTect Assay Method 25g samples of foods and surface sponges were added to 225ml of room temperature Buffered Peptone Water (BPW) (ISO), with the exception of raw ground beef with the short 8h protocol, where pre-warmed BPW (ISO) was used. Samples of raw ground beef analysed with the short protocol were incubated at 41.5°C for 8h, non-fat dried milk, environmental surfaces, raw beef and liquid egg were incubated at 37°C for 18h and cooked shrimps, Frankfurters, lettuce and raw chicken for 20h at 37°C. Following enrichment 10μl of each sample was added to the prefilled SureTect Lysis Tubes (prepared by additionally adding Proteinase K Reagent) and the sample lysed according to the SureTect lysis protocol (37°C for 10 minutes followed by 95°C for 5 minutes). © 2013 Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.

Introduction

The Thermo Scientific SureTect Salmonella species

Assay (PT0100A) is a new Real-Time PCR test for the

detection of Salmonella from food, animal feeds and

environmental samples, which combines pre-dispensed

lysis reagent and lyophilised, tableted PCR reagents to

simplify and improve assay handling, along with dedicated

software to run the assays as well as interpret and display

PCR results. This study was conducted using the AOAC

RI Performance Tested MethodsSM program1 to validate

the SureTect Salmonella species assay in comparison to

the reference method detailed in ISO 6579:20022 with a

variety of food matrices.

Methods

Sample Preparation

Bulk samples of foods were screened for natural

contamination with Salmonella before splitting into three

samples; unspiked (control), low spiked (0.2-2 CFU/25g

and high spiked (2-5 CFU/25g) samples. Once spiked, all

samples were allowed to equilibrate as per AOAC

instructions.

Surface samples of stainless steel were spiked with a

suspension of Salmonella. Where samples were not

paired as in the case of surface samples and raw ground

beef analysis with the 8h enrichment protocol, additional

separate samples were prepared.

SureTect Assay Method

25g samples of foods and surface sponges were added to

225ml of room temperature Buffered Peptone Water

(BPW) (ISO), with the exception of raw ground beef with

the short 8h protocol, where pre-warmed BPW (ISO) was

used. Samples of raw ground beef analysed with the

short protocol were incubated at 41.5°C for 8h, non-fat

dried milk, environmental surfaces, raw beef and liquid

egg were incubated at 37°C for 18h and cooked shrimps,

Frankfurters, lettuce and raw chicken for 20h at 37°C.

Following enrichment 10µl of each sample was added to

the prefilled SureTect Lysis Tubes (prepared by

additionally adding Proteinase K Reagent) and the sample

lysed according to the SureTect lysis protocol (37°C for 10

minutes followed by 95°C for 5 minutes).

Significance The Thermo ScientificTM SureTectTM Salmonella spp Real-Time PCR Assay is a reliable method for Salmonella spp detection in food

and pet food samples, and offers important economic savings by reducing time to result and handling time.

Introduction The Thermo ScientificTM SureTectTM Salmonella spp species Real-Time PCR Assay is a new detection method based on real-time

PCR. The oligonucleotides target unique DNA sequences found only in the analyte and use PCR technology to amplify and detect them. If present, the

target DNA is amplified and the increasing fluorescent signal is detected by the Thermo Scientific PikoReal Real-Time PCR instrument and interpreted

by the Thermo Scientific SureTect. Only 8 h incubation time is required for raw beef meat analyses.

Method comparison studyRelative accuracy, relative specificity and

relative sensitivity study

442 samples were analyzed. The paired data

below show 10 negative deviations and 8 positive

deviations. The performances of the compared

methods are equivalent:

10 laboratories from various European countries

were involved. Ground beef was inoculated with

S. Typhimurium. 8 h incubation time was run in

each involved laboratory.

The paired data, the relative accuracy,

sensitivity, specificity, as well as the

accordance, concordance and odds ratio clearly

show that the alternative method precision is

equivalent to the ISO method:

MUESTREO sistemático de todo el producto clasificado y envasado por el centro de embalaje. El número de muestras

correspondientes a cada una de las manadas y procedencias se estimó en base al número de medias docenas clasificadas y envasadas

el día del muestreo. Cada muestra seleccionada estaba compuesta por seis huevos.

MÉTODO: detección de Salmonella spp. tanto en la cáscara como en el interior de los huevos, mediante el kit de detección de

Salmonella spp. SureTectTM y el equipo PikoReal Real Time PCR.

Comparación del método inmunoenzimático empleado habitualmente en el laboratorio y acreditado por ENAC, VIDAS Salmonella

(VIDAS SLM), con el método Thermo Scientific SureTectTM Salmonella spp. PCR Assay. Ambos métodos están validados por AFNOR.

Tras varios brotes de gastroenteritis aguda por Salmonella Enteritidis se inició el estudio

epidemiológico y ambiental. Los huevos frescos de una explotación fueron el alimento implicado.

Se empleó en el estudio del brote un nuevo método de detección de Salmonella spp., Thermo

ScientificTM SureTectTM, basado en tecnología de PCR, para amplificar y detectar secuencias

únicas de DNA.

El objeto del estudio es evaluar el sistema SureTectTM para la detección de Salmonella spp. por

PCR en tiempo real para su implantación en un laboratorio acreditado.

Los resultados fueron concordantes y se detectó, por ambos métodos, Salmonella Enteritidis,

cepa no vacunal, en 3 de las 60 muestras de cáscara de huevo (5 %).

Al evaluar los dos métodos de análisis, el laboratorio se decantó por utilizar el método de

detección mediante PCR al presentar las siguientes ventajas:

- Método más rápido, resultados negativos a las 24 h

- Flujo de trabajo más fácil, menor tiempo de manipulación y probabilidad de errores

- Incremento de la productividad del laboratorio

Significance The Thermo ScientificTM SureTectTM Listeria monocytogenes species Real-Time PCR Assay is a reliable method for Listeria

monocytogenes detection in food and environmental samples, and offers important economic savings by reducing time to result and handling time.

Introduction The Thermo ScientificTM SureTectTM Listeria monocytogenes species Real-Time PCR Assay is a new detection method based on

real-time PCR. The oligonucleotides target unique DNA sequences found only in the analyte and use PCR technology to amplify and detect them. If

present, the target DNA is amplified and the increasing fluorescent signal is detected by the Thermo Scientific PikoReal Real-Time PCR instrument and

interpreted by the Thermo Scientific SureTect.

Method comparison studyRelative accuracy, relative specificity and

relative sensitivity study

339 samples were analyzed. The paired data

below show 26 negative deviations and

34 positive deviations. The performances of the

compared methods are equivalent:

10 laboratories from various European countries

were involved. Cheese was inoculated with

L. monocytogenes.

The paired data, the relative accuracy,

sensitivity, specificity, as well as the

accordance, concordance and odds ratio clearly

show that the alternative method precision is

equivalent to the ISO method:
