Neogen ANSR pathogen test for Salmonella

Cell Biosciences has launched the Neogen ANSR molecular platform.

ANSR for Salmonella is claimed to be the first pathogen test available for the system and provides results after only 10 minutes of reaction time. ANSR requires only a single reaction temperature, which eliminates the heating and cooling cycles of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods.

ANSR is an isothermal amplification reaction test method that exponentially amplifies the DNA of any bacteria present in food and environmental samples to detectable levels in only 10 min. Combined with ANSR’s single enrichment step, Neogen’s pathogen detection method can provide DNA-definitive results for Salmonella in as little as 18 h from the time the sample is taken.

The ANSR system combines molecular-level accuracy with a small benchtop footprint and a simple procedure.
