New Proficiency Test Detects Listeria in Feed

A new interlaboratory test (PTS 105B) is being introduced by BIPEA which enables laboratories to identify the presence of Listeria spp and Listeria monocytogenes in feed.

In the initial round, BIPEA will provide three 25g samples of compound animal feed to participating laboratories. These laboratories will be required to identify the presence of Listeria spp and Listeria monocytogenes using reference methods (ISO 11290-1) or alternative techniques.

This test is scheduled for May 2023.

BIPEA has been catering to testing laboratories concerned with analytical accuracy and quality control across different fields such as food, environment, surface, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals for over 50 years by offering a diverse range of proficiency tests and external reference materials.
