BAX® System SalQuant®

Reduce consumer risk with the BAX® System SalQuant® Real-Time PCR Assay for Salmonella, validated by AOAC. This method quantifies Salmonella levels in poultry, beef, and pork within 6 hours, providing accurate, data-driven food safety decisions across multiple sample types. Ideal for reducing hold times and verifying corrective actions, this method enables faster contamination monitoring with results as low as 1 CFU/g.

BAX System SalQuant Tested Matrices
