“Our laboratory checks the presence of Salmonella in animal feeding stuffs.
SMS® is a rapid and easy-to-use screening method which is the most adapted
to our laboratory workload. Moreover, SMS® is more sensitive than other
rapid methods and is much more affordable.”

Christian GUIGNARD - Laboratory Manager TRIBALLAT Noyal-sur-Vilaine, France

“I have chosen the SMS® method because it is AFNOR/ISO 16140 validated for all
foodstuffs and it is easy-to-use.”

Julien GUILLORY  - TRANSAL Laboratory (Doux Group) La Vraie Croix, France

“Since the withdrawal of the NF V08-052 routine norm, our laboratory has to
be accredited according to ISO 6579 standard; we have chosen an AFNOR/ISO
16140 validated alternative method which is much faster than the reference
one. SMS® is an easy-to-use, rapid and efficient method with a very good
specificity.”

Lætitia JARNIER - Quality Assurance Manager - Departmental Analysis Laboratory - Tulle, France

“The Departmental Laboratory of Corrèze carries out microbiological
controls for food manufacturers. We chose the SMS® method two years ago
and obtained the COFRAC accreditation for this method. This technique
provides fast results to our customers. We appreciate this product because
it is reliable (we get good results in inter-laboratories tests) and easy to
use.”

Carole LEMAITRE - Microbiology Laboratory Manager - Albhades Laboratory - Oraison, France

“The routine use of the SMS® method has let our laboratory significantly save
money and time. Results are given earlier especially in the case of presumptive
positive samples that have to be confirmed (contrary to our previous method
which didn’t offer the possibility to re-isolate the bacteria). After a short training
period, we are confident with the SMS® results.”

Juan S. VILLAR - Quality Director - APC Europe - Granoller, Spain

“APC Europe is an ingredient manufacturer for food and animal feeding
producers. We have decided to use SMS® in routine since the cost/reliability
ratio is better than our previous ELISA method. We have been able to prove
that the sensitivity and the reproducibility of SMS® are better since the
analytical protocol requires only a few steps.”
