FDA BAM Chapter 37 Detection of Rotavirus in Dairy Products
The detection and quantification of Rotavirus are essential to ensure public health and safety, especially when dealing with dairy products. This service focuses on the FDA Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM) Chapter 37 protocol for detecting rotavirus in dairy products. Rotaviruses are a group of viruses that cause gastroenteritis in infants and young children, as well as in animals such as cattle.
The Rotavirus detection method described here follows the FDA BAM Chapter 37 protocol, which is a standardized procedure for microbiological analysis. This method uses an ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) to detect rotaviruses in milk and dairy products.
The process begins with sample collection from various stages of production: raw milk, pasteurized milk, cheese, yogurt, and other dairy products. Samples are then prepared for analysis by centrifugation followed by filtration through a 0.45 µm filter to concentrate the virus particles. This step is crucial as it ensures that the samples contain sufficient viral particles for accurate detection.
The concentrated sample is then assayed using the FDA BAM Chapter 37 protocol. The ELISA test kit used in this process allows for quantitative assessment of rotavirus antigen levels present in the sample. This method provides a reliable and reproducible way to detect the presence of rotaviruses, ensuring that dairy products meet regulatory standards.
The accuracy and precision of the FDA BAM Chapter 37 protocol are critical given the potential health risks associated with the presence of rotavirus in dairy products. The test can differentiate between live and non-viable virus particles, which is important for assessing the safety of the product. This service ensures that all samples are handled and analyzed according to international standards, including ISO, ASTM, EN, IEC, and FDA guidelines.
The detection of rotavirus in dairy products is not just about identifying the presence of the virus but also ensuring its absence or below a certain threshold level as mandated by regulatory bodies. This service plays a vital role in maintaining public health by ensuring that dairy products are safe for consumption.
Our laboratory uses state-of-the-art equipment and highly trained technicians to perform this testing. The results are reported promptly, providing clients with accurate data on the presence or absence of rotavirus in their samples.
