Dr. Chaney, applications manager at Roka Bioscience Inc. will be presenting a session titled “Integrated Sample Preparation to Enable Reliable Salmonella enterica Detection in Difficult Poultry Matrices” at the International Production and Processing Expo (IPPE).

The presentation will discuss results from a comparative study evaluating Salmonella enterica detection platforms using ground poultry and carcass rinse data from five poultry producers. The results show the detection of Salmonella enterica in ground poultry and carcass rinse samples can be improved by utilizing a testing platform that includes an integrated target capture step when compared to PCR and culture confirmation. The presentation will also describe semi-quantitative threshold testing and how it can be applied to poultry operations.
