Flyer Test Strips For Salmonella And Ehec

The management of food safety is changing. Traditional systems have proven ineffective and have resulted in as many as 76 million cases of food poisoning a year in the U.S. Have you made a step towards the food safety management system of the future?

most common and dangerous Microorganisms, e.coli and salmonella.

Safe Strips

For years one of the biggest problems facing food service operations has been preventing food-borne illness.

Safe Strips

Even with a comprehensive training program that identifies potentially hazardous foods, and identifies critical preparation holding and serving processes, businesses still run the risk of serving food with dangerous levels of bacteria.

Made in the U.S.A

Now Food Service Managers hold the key to solving this problem. Safe Strips are an inexpensive and almost instant test for salmonella and e.coli bacteria. By establishing controls and continually monitoring food handlers you may be able to prevent Biological hazards in foods that support rapid bacterial growth and can cause consumer health risks.

The Preliminary Test Strips are enzyme detection tests. Our tests consist of a test pad on a plastic strip.

·

The test pad consists of a mixture of chromogenic substrates impregnated on the pad, which produces an insoluble colored precipitate when reacted upon by the enzyme produced by the live organism to be detected. Designed for use by average food service personnel, these easy to use tests provide easy to interpret results in 5 minutes. No color ... negative results, color change .... indicates presence of the Bacteria.

EASY TO USE Procedure Prepared Foods · Add to a clean* glass or cup ½ teaspoon of all prepared foods being served. · Add 3 to 4 ounces of water*, add 5 drops of reagent. Mix thoroughly, let stand for 20 To 30 seconds. · Immerse test strip in the food sample for a period of 60 seconds. Avoid cross contamination of the food sample with direct hand contact of test pad or food sample. · Remove test strip and lay flat on a clean dry non-absorbent surface (test pad upright). Color change within 10 minutes, if contamination exists. · ·

BASIC DESIGN Our economical test strips are designed to get the job done without the visual fanfare associated with other so-called “Rapid Tests” that require sample prep and incubation of up to 8 hours. Salmonella Test Strip

*Use sterilized containers, utensils and distilled water, if possible. Procedure: General Surfaces Surfaces such as food preparation areas, meat slicer, cutting boards, anywhere where there is a chance for food to become cross-contaminated or areas hard to clean, can then become biologically active. Spray the suspected area with distilled water and scrape together into a pool, transfer about one ounce of collected water into a glass. Add 3 drops of reagent to the sample, stir for a few seconds, take the strip of Salmonella or E Coli and insert it into the glass immersing the strip pad completely for at least 30 seconds, remove the strip and place on a nonabsorbent clean surface. Allow the strip to react for a period of 10-20 minutes, any color change on the pad is positive. Procedure Water Testing Pond water, slurries, any place where there is stagnant water, liquids that infestation of bacteria is suspected to be present. Take 3 ounce sample from source of suspected biological activity, place it in a glass, add 3 drops of reagent into sample, mix well and allow to stand for 10 minutes, mix again. Insert test strip (either Salmonella or E Coli) into glass immersing the strip pad completely for at least 30 seconds. Remove the strip to react for a period of 10-20 minutes, any color change on the pad is positive. RESULTS: INTERPRETATION Salmonella or E. Coli:

CONTAMINATION SOURCES

1. NO COLOR CHANGE - Negative for Salmonella or E Coli Organism. 2. COLOR CHANGE FROM WHITE - Positive organism detected.
