- Additional information
Staphylococcus aureus is highly vulnerable to destruction by heat treatment and nearly all sanitizing agents. Therefore, the presence of this bacterium or its enterotoxins in processed foods or on food processing equipment is generally an indication of poor sanitation.

We also offer a RUSH service that is half the time of the standard turnaround time of the assay at double the cost of the assay. A few assays that we provide cannot be rushed due to the nature of the test. Please check the specific assay you are interested in regarding the ability to RUSH the turnaround time.
