Description
This test is also known as N-60.
Screening test to detect Escherichia coli O157:H7by molecular detection using a Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay. A presumptive positive result is confirmed by standard reference methods. This molecular screening method provides a faster turnaround time than conventional culture methods for the detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in food and food products.
