The N-Light™ Salmonella Risk test is a qualitative test for rapidly detecting the foodborne bacterial pathogen Salmonella spp. and closely related bacteria. It is intended for use in food processing areas and equipment as part of an environmental monitoring program. Being intuitive, rapid, cost-effective, and lab-free, it offers an affordable solution to enhance testing and empower your quality management process. Given the low prevalence of Salmonella spp. on environmental surfaces, N-Light™ Salmonella Risk not only detect Salmonella spp. but also a small selection of closely related bacteria. Certain strains of Klebsiella, Citrobacter and Enterobacter share the metabolic marker alpha- galactosidase activity with Salmonella spp. Based on NEMIS’ research, we suggest that the persistent presence of alpha-galactosidase-positive bacteria growing in our selective broth can be used as an indicator of the risk of the presence of Salmonella spp.
