1-2 Test^® for Salmonella

The 1-2 Test^® for Salmonella is an antibody based assay for the detection of Salmonella in food and environmental samples.  The assay incorporates immunodiffusion technology to provide accurate and rapid results following a simple 1 or 2 step enrichment protocol.  If present, Salmonella move through the motility media as Salmonella-specific antibodies diffuse into the media from the opposite direction.  The antibodies bind to the target Salmonella antigen to form a visually apparent immunoband indicating a positive test result.  As an AOAC Official Method of Analysis, the 1-2 Test is one of the simplest rapid methods available for the detection of Salmonella.

The First Widely Accepted Single-Use Salmonella Test

The 1-2 Test is a patented, single-use test for Salmonella used by analysts worldwide. It combines proprietary science with practical application, resulting in proven performance and ease of use.

Accurate, Reliable and Validated Results
