nBPW Header

On July 1st, 2016, the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) released a newly developed Neutralizing Buffered Peptone Water ( nBPW ).

nbpw U181
  • nBPW is recommended for use as a rinse (or swab) for poultry carcasses and parts. USDA Institutes this “Fix” due to Salmonella false negatives.
  • The new buffer is officially replacing currently used Buffered Peptone Water because of it’s increased effectiveness in reducing the effect of potential carryover of antimicrobials.
U181 nbpw
  • This solution came from a study by the ARS (initiated by the FSIS) to determine whether antimicrobial sanitizers might interfere with testing for Salmonella.
  • ARS researchers found that sanitizers used on poultry carcasses to reduce pathogens might cause false-negative results in tests for Salmonella.
  • FSIS believes the new nBPW solution will eliminate any problem of antimicrobial carryover in Salmonella tests.
  • Improve the efficacy of your poultry testing by using Hardy’s nBPW solutions!
