Microbiological Testing with Rapid Test Kits
🧪 This e-learning focuses on technical training for alternative microbiology testing using rapid test kits for ready-to-eat and fresh food products.
🔬 The practical videos will demonstrate testing for pathogens including quantitative counts of *E. coli*, *Staphylococcus aureus*, and *Bacillus cereus* using ready-to-use media.
🦠 Specific tests covered include quantitative analysis for *Listeria monocytogenes* in fresh food and quantitative *E. coli* counts using binary detection technology in fluorogenic wells.
🔬 Qualitative detection for *Salmonella* using biochemical rapid kits and *Listeria monocytogenes* using the GELISAH Good Label immuno kit will also be shown.

Regulatory Context and Kit Selection
📜 The required testing results must adhere to applicable regulations and requirements.
✅ BPOM (Indonesia's Food and Drug Authority) has verified several types of rapid test kits from various brands.
🛠️ Rapid test kits used in the practical videos are not limited to a specific brand; any equivalent, BPOM-verified rapid test kit may be utilized.
🌟 BPOM is committed to supporting reliable testing to ensure food quality and safety.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Rapid test kits offer an alternative methodology for microbiological assessment in processed and fresh foods.
➡️ Practical demonstrations cover both quantitative (e.g., *E. coli*, *Listeria*) and qualitative detection of major foodborne pathogens.
➡️ Users should ensure that any substitute rapid test kit used has been verified by BPOM to maintain compliance and reliability standards.
