Hygiena is pioneering diagnostics with the ability to quantify Salmonella on farm, throughout processing at critical control point, and at final product for faster release or diversions using BAX® Q7 and our BAX® System Real-Time Salmonella Assay.

This application can be utilized throughout the beef, pork, and poultry industries to provide the precise amount of Salmonella to ultimately reduce consumer food safety risks.

SalQuant™ Tested Matrices

Over 50,000 samples ran to date on various matrices to generate the protocols.

Beef:

• Ground & Finely Textured Beef
• Beef Trim
• MicroTally™ Manual Sampling Device for Beef Trim

• Ground Pork
• Pork Trim
• Head Rinses

Quantification Data Applications

LIVE PRODUCTION

• Vaccine efficacy
• Pre-Harvest antibiotic/probiotic efficiency
• Flock house sanitation/cleaning monitoring
• Determination of slaughter order
• Source tracking of high load animals for corrective actions at farm level

PROCESSING

• New and existing chemical and physical intervention evaluations
• Biomapping of process locations to monitor intervention efficacy
• Process control documentation support
• Precise knowledge of Salmonella location and level of contamination
• Tracking from incoming lots to final product

FINAL PRODUCT

• Make release decisions faster for ground products contaminated with 1-10 CFU/g or mL (SalLimits™ or SalQuant™)
• Faster results to make diversion decisions
• Determine the true meaning of Salmonella prevalence by applying quantitative values to the results
• Provide support data for prevalence testing to reduce consumer risk when positive lots are released
