Strategic Diagnostics Inc. (SDIX) System Gets OK From the FDA for Salmonella Detection in Poultry Houses and Eggs

QualityStocks would like to highlight Strategic Diagnostics, Inc. (NASDAQ: SDIX), a biotechnology company delivering advanced immuno-solutions and critical reagents to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, diagnostics, and basic research partners in life sciences, and effective pathogen detection tests to help ensure food safety.

In the company’s news yesterday,

Strategic Diagnostics announced that its RapidChek SELECT Salmonella Enteritidis test system has been thoroughly reviewed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It was determined to be equivalent in accuracy, precision and sensitivity to their current standard methods for poultry house environmental drag swabs and pooled egg testing.

For pooled egg testing, SDIX’s method is considered by the FDA as equivalent to its standard test without a 96-hour hold period, thus delivering results with a substantial time and cost advantage. Recently, SDIX’s test system also received certification from the AOAC Research Institute, which validated the company’s method as equivalent to the FDA methodology.

This is an important market. According to the US Department of Agriculture and the Center for Disease Control’s FoodNet surveillance system, salmonella is the most common food-borne bacterial pathogen with over 1 million estimated cases in the US. In addition, salmonella is responsible for more hospitalizations and more deaths – about 400 annually – than any other food pathogen.

SDIX’s test can help the approximate 3,300 US egg producers comply with the new FDA regulations brought about by all the recent egg recalls. The company’s test system will also significantly reduce contamination levels from those being experienced today by providing a more sensitive and accurate detection of salmonella enteritidis.
