User Responsibility; Storage And Disposal - 3M MDA2CAM96 Mode D'emploi

To reduce the risks associated with a false-positive result:
• Never open reagent tubes post amplification.
• Always dispose of the contaminated tubes by soaking in a 1-5% (v:v in water) household bleach solution for 1 hour and
away from the assay preparation area.
• Never autoclave reagent tubes post amplification.
Consult the Safety Data Sheet for additional information and local regulations for disposal.

User Responsibility

Users are responsible for familiarizing themselves with product instructions and information. Visit our website at
www.3M.com/foodsafety, or contact your local 3M representative or distributor for more information.
When selecting a test method, it is important to recognize that external factors such as sampling methods, testing
protocols, sample preparation, handling, laboratory technique and the sample itself may influence results.
It is the user's responsibility in selecting any test method or product to evaluate a sufficient number of samples with the
appropriate matrices and microbial challenges to satisfy the user that the chosen test method meets the user's criteria.
It is also the user's responsibility to determine that any test methods and results meet its customers' and suppliers'
requirements.
As with any test method, results obtained from use of any 3M Food Safety product do not constitute a guarantee of the
quality of the matrices or processes tested.
To help customers evaluate the method for various food matrices, 3M has developed the 3M™ Molecular Detection Matrix
Control kit. When needed, use the 3M Molecular Detection Matrix Control (MC) to determine if the matrix has the ability
to impact the 3M Molecular Detection Assay 2 - Campylobacter results. Test several Samples, representative of the matrix,
i.e. samples obtained from different origin, during any validation period when adopting the 3M method or when testing
new or unknown matrices or matrices that have undergone raw material or process changes.
A matrix can be defined as a type of product with intrinsic properties such as composition and process. Differences
between matrices may be as simple as the effects caused by differences in their processing or presentation for example,
raw versus pasteurized; fresh versus dried, etc.

Storage and Disposal

Store the 3M Molecular Detection Assay 2 - Campylobacter at 2-8°C (35-47°F). Do not freeze. Keep kit away from light
during storage. After opening the kit, check that the foil pouch is undamaged. If the pouch is damaged, do not use. After
opening, unused reagent tubes should always be stored in the re-sealable pouch with the desiccant inside to maintain
stability of the lyophilized reagents. Store resealed pouches at 2-8°C (35-47°F) for no longer than 90 days.
Do not use 3M Molecular Detection Assay 2 - Campylobacter past the expiration date. Expiration date and lot number are
noted on the outside label of the box. After use, the enrichment medium and the 3M Molecular Detection Assay
2 - Campylobacter tubes can potentially contain pathogenic materials. When testing is complete, follow current industry
standards for the disposal of contaminated waste. Consult the Safety Data Sheet for additional information and local
regulations for disposal.
