10–15 mins Strip Reaction Time | 1–10 CFU High Sensitivity (g/mL) | High Specificity Monoclonal Antibody | Clear Visual Two-Line Interpretation |
The FSTest Staphylococcus aureus Rapid Test Kit is a highly specific immunochromatographic strip assay designed for rapid qualitative screening of Staphylococcus aureus in raw and cooked meats, dairy products, bakery goods, and environmental surface samples.
Utilizing colloidal gold lateral flow immunoassay technology with highly specific anti-S. aureus monoclonal antibodies, this test cassette delivers clear visual results in just 10 to 15 minutes following sample enrichment. It serves as an efficient prescreening tool for food safety laboratories and QA teams to intercept enterotoxin-producing bacterial risks early and accelerate product release.
Rapid & Actionable Prescreening: Produces unambiguous qualitative results in 10–15 minutes post-enrichment, drastically cutting hold time for high-risk food products.
High Monoclonal Specificity: Specific monoclonal antibodies target S. aureus antigens while minimizing cross-reactivity with non-target Gram-positive cocci and background flora.
Easy Visual Readout: Simple two-line result format (Control line and Test line) enables straightforward manual interpretation without complex instrumentation.
User-Friendly Format: Compact, individually foil-wrapped test cassettes require minimal training and hands-on preparation time.
Cost-Effective Pathogen Control: Offers an economical screening alternative to PCR or lengthy multi-step coagulase confirmation methods.

Critical for screening high-risk food commodities and environmental hygiene programs:
STEP 1 Enrich Homogenize sample with selective enrichment broth (e.g., Baird-Parker / 7.5% NaCl) and incubate per standard protocol. | STEP 2 Apply Pipette 2–3 drops (approx. 100 µL) of enriched sample broth into the sample well (S) of the test cassette. | STEP 3 React Allow the test strip to incubate at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes for lateral flow color development. | STEP 4 Read Observe lines: C Line only = Negative; C & T Lines visible = Presumptive Positive for S. aureus. |
The FSTest Staphylococcus aureus Rapid Test Kit is validated to ensure high accuracy for pathogen screening:
