2.2 Precautions and Preparations
The kit provides all reagents required for the PCR. However, in order to
achieve reliable results, the entire assay procedure must be performed under
nuclease-free conditions.
Follow the instructions below to avoid nuclease, carry-over, or cross- contamination:
-
Keep the kit components separate from other reagents in the laboratory.
-
Use nuclease-free labware (e.g., pipettes, pipette tips, reaction vials).
-
Wear gloves when performing the assay.
-
To avoid cross-contamination of samples and reagents, use fresh aerosol barrier pipette tips.
-
To avoid carry-over contamination, transfer the required solutions for one experiment into a fresh tube, rather than directly pipetting from stock solutions.
-
Physically separate the workplaces for DNA preparation, PCR setup, and PCR to minimize the risk of carry-over contamination. Use a PCR hood for all pipetting steps.
-
Sample Material: Use any sample material suitable for PCR in terms of purity,
concentration, and absence of inhibitors. -
DNA Extraction: We provide sample preparation kits suitable for all kind of food
samples and primary production stage samples. -
Positive Control: Always run a positive control with the samples. Use the provided
control DNA (Control Template) or a positive sample preparation control. -
Negative Control: Always run a negative control with the samples. To prepare a negative control, replace the template DNA with PCR-grade water. Include a negative control during sample preparation to monitor reaction purity and cross contamination.
This extraction control can be used as an additional negative control reaction. -
Confi rmation: If required, positive results may be confi rmed by appropriate methods
(e.g., reference method). -
Waste Disposal: All contaminated and potentially infectious material, like enrichment
cultures or food samples, should be autoclaved before disposal and eliminated according to local rules and regulations. For more information, e.g., proper disposal of unused chemicals, please refer to the appropriate safety data sheet (SDS).
**** Keep the PCR mix away from light.
For more information, please refer to the appropriate safety data sheet (SDS).

Cultural Confirmation
Positive PCR results were confirmed with the ISO 6579 reference method for
MicroVal validations and with the BAM (Bacteriological Analytical Manual
Online, Chapter 5: Salmonella, Andrews H.W., Hammack S.T., December 2007
Edition) for AOAC-RI validations, e.g., serologically by latex agglutination
(Salmonella Test Kit, Oxoid DR1108A) and biochemically by using API 20E strips
(bioMerieux 20100). For further information please visit the following web
addresses: www.iso.org or www.cfsan.fda.gov/~ebam/bam-5.html.
Within the MicroVal study LR39, all Salmonella-positive PCR results were culture confirmed as described in ISO 6579-1:2017.
Within the MicroVal study 2011LR40 / 2011LR42, all Salmonella-positive PCR results were culture-confirmed as described in EN ISO 6579/A1 (2007) for PPS samples and according EN ISO 6579:2002 for food and feed samples.
Details of the confirmation procedure within the MicroVal studies In the context of the MicroVal validations, all presumptive positive samples must be confirmed. For this, 0.1 ml of the first enrichment in BPW was transferred into 10 ml RVS (incubate at 41.5 °C for 24 h +/- 3 h) and 1 ml enrichment was transferred into 10 ml MKTTn (incubate at 37 °C for 24 h +/- 3 h). 10 μl from MkTTn and RVS were spread onto XLD and a chromogenic agar. For the PPS samples MRVS was inoculated with the BPW enrichment (incubate at 41.5 °C for 24 h +/- 3 h or optionally additional 24 h +/- 3 h). Isolations were done onto XLD and a chromogenic agar. For all samples: Incubate the plates according to the manufacturer’s instruction. Confirm 1 to 5 characteristic colonies using the ISO 6579 reference confirmation tests.
For the automated protocol the isolation and confirmation steps were only done
for RVS and XLD. For the PPS samples the confirmation was additionally done by
streaking 10 μl MOSSEL broth onto XLD and a chromogenic agar, followed by
confirmation using the ISO
6579 reference confirmation tests.
2.4 Procedure
This protocol describes how to perform the analysis of DNA extracts by real-
time PCR.
2.4.1 Workflow
Thaw the solutions, mix by flicking the tubes four to five times, and briefly
spin vials in a
microcentrifuge before opening.
2.4.2 Program Setup
Program your real-time PCR instrument before setting up the PCR reactions.
Select the
following channels:
FAM (Salmonella), and VIC (Internal Control).
As an alternative to VIC, HEX can be used. For the PikoReal® 24, Yakima Yellow
has to be
selected.
For some real-time PCR instruments the probe quencher as well as the usage of
a passive
reference dye has to be specified. This kit contains probes with TAMRA as
quencher and no
passive reference dye.
For users of the Agilent Mx3005P instrument: Click “Instrument” and “Filter
Set Gain Settings” to open the Filter Set Gain Settings dialog box in which
the gain settings may be
viewed and modified. For FAM the Filter Set Gain Setting has to be modified to
“x1”.
2.4.3 Data Interpretation
Verify results of positive (Control Template) and negative controls (H2O),
before interpreting
sample results. Always compare samples to positive and negative control.
Review data from
each channel and interpret results as described in the table.

3. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
3.1 Testing Principle
The foodproof® kit provides all necessary reagents and a control template for
reliable interpretations of results. To ensure maximum reliability of the kit
and to prevent misinterpretation of negative results due to inhibition of the
amplifi cation, an Internal
Control (IC) is included. A hydrolysis probe was designed to bind specifi
cally the IC, allowing detection in the respective channel, whereas the target
DNA is detected in another channel. In case of a negative result due to
inhibition of the amplifi cation by the sample DNA of interest, the amplifi
cation of the IC is suppressed as well, whereas a negative result for the
sample DNA of interest and amplifi cation of the IC clearly indicates the
absence of parameter in the sample. The real-time PCR kit minimizes
contamination risk and contains all reagents (except for template DNA) needed
for the detection of target DNA. Primers and probes provide specifi c
detection of target DNA in food and environmental samples, including primary
production stage samples. The described performance of the kit is guaranteed
for use only on the real-time PCR instruments listed above.
Step-by-Step Procedure
-
Using the kit‘s sequence-specific primers in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the
PCR instrument and the supplied reagents amplify fragments of specific sequences for target DNA. -
The PCR instrument detects these amplified fragments in real time through fluorescence generated by cleavage of the hybridized probe due to the 5´-nuclease activity of the Taq DNA polymerase. The probe is labeled at the 5´-end with a reporter fluorophore and at the 3´-end with a quencher.
-
During the annealing/elongation phase of each PCR cycle, the probe hybridizes to an internal sequence of the amplicon and is cleaved by the 5’ nuclease activity of the Taq DNA polymerase. This cleavage of the probe separates the reporter dye from the quencher dye, increasing the reporter dye signal.
-
The PCR instrument measures the emitted fl uorescence of the reporter dye.
Prevention of Carry-Over Contamination
The heat-labile Uracil-DNA N-Glycosylase (UNG) is suitable for preventing
carry-over contamination between PCR’s. This technique relies on the
incorporation of deoxyuridine
triphosphate (dUTP) during all amplifi cation reactions, and the pretreatment
of all successive
PCR mixtures with the heat-labile UNG. The UNG cleaves DNA at any site where a
deoxyuridine residue has been incorporated. The resulting abasic sites are
hydrolyzed due to the high temperatures during the initial denaturation step,
and can no longer serve as PCR templates. The heat-labile UNG is inactivated
during the initial denaturation step. Native DNA (e.g., the isolated target
genomic DNA) does not contain uracil and is therefore
not degraded by this procedure. Since dTTP is replaced with dUTP and UNG is
included in this kit, decontamination can be achieved with the provided
reagents.
