Simple tests for shellfish toxins
and DTX2. Due to industry regulations, Neogen can provide an additional validated extraction for the detection of DTX3 in shellfi sh samples. The kits focus on topical concerns about the qual- ity and safety of food and agricultural products, from the quality of seed that goes into the ground, right through the chain to the safety of fully processed food products. Neogen Europe was awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise for interna- tional trade and develop- ment, one of the highest awards bestowed on a UK company. Neogen works along- side industry experts to develop its test kits to ensure that they fully meet the needs of the end user. This is a continual process and key to being able to provide testing solutions that meet their needs. Un-
like many other food safety companies, Neogen also provides full on-site train- ing and on-going customer support. Neogen’s lateral fl ow tests for ASP and DSP are very simple to use and provide accurate results on-site, allowing them to take immediate action if necessary. There is the huge benefi t of being able to use Neogen’s contract laboratory service for addi- tional testing confi rmation that we might need. Neogen is the only com-
mercial company able to offer simple to use on-site lateral fl ow analysis for the qualitative screening of shellfi sh for ASP and DSP coupled with their AccuScan pro reader, which removes subjectivity from reading the lateral fl ow, meaning their tests are unsurpassed. The company has Reveal 2.0 for PSP scheduled for launch in the late spring, which
of on-site testing Neogen is also able to provide contract laboratory services for both shellfi sh toxins and norovirus using methods such as RT-PCR, HPLC-PDA, LCMS-MS and ELISA. The Reveal 2.0 range is a
Neogen’s new testers and test reader
will allow users to test for all three major toxins of concern without the need for additional suppliers. All three tests are compatible with EU Commission and FDA permitted levels. The testing is used by both farmers and authori- ties. The kits are designed for use by personnel with an interest in the rapid screening of shellfi sh
samples, such as harvesters and processors, which are usable in the fi eld as well as in the lab. The AccuScan Pro unit is designed to be used as a hand-held unit and takes up a very small amount of bench space in a lab environment. They like to think of it being so simple to use that it could be taken out on the boat. To complement the range
very simple to use one-step test, after weighing and homogenising your sample you simply remove 100 uL of your sample, add buffer, transfer to a microwell and place a strip into the well. After 15 minutes you insert the strip to the reader which will then provide your results.
Neogen is currently
preparing to launch its lateral fl ow test for the detection of PSP. The test will perform to the same specifi cations as the cur- rent Reveal 2.0 for ASP & DSP and therefore will be very easy for current test- ers to implement into their testing programme. FF
