Salmonella

The regular monitoring of Salmonella in poultry is obligatory in many countries in Europe and the Americas. Salmonella Enteritidis is the cause of food-borne infections via faecal contamination or more directly from eggs.

Salmonella antigens

The regular monitoring of Salmonella in poultry is obligatory in many countries in Europe and the Americas.
Salmonella Enteritidis is the cause of food-borne infections via faecal contamination or more directly from eggs. Salmonella Pullorum Gallinarum causes severe infectious diseases in young poultry. This bacterium is spread from generation to generation via the eggs.
The Rapid Plate Agglutination (RPA) test is a technique based on the agglutination of antibodies produced by infected poultry with the suspension of Salmonella antigens, present in our products. Agglutination reveals the presence of circulating antibodies.

Advantages

Early detection of infection

The RPA is the only test to detect IgM and IgG at the same time and can therefore be used to detect infection several days before ELISA. 2, 3, 4

Increased flexibility

The user is free to perform any number of tests as they can be done individually.

Time-efficient

The test is easy to set up. The results are obtained in a few minutes.

Reduced-costs

As well as the low operating costs (1 bottle for 400 tests), the investment required to set up the tests is small.

Reading the results

The results are easy to read. Blue-violet agglutinates indicate a positive result and nothing happens when the result is negative. An aid to reading the results can be downloaded below. It includes photos of positive and negative results for each reagent:
