Validation Offer

Our proposal to have the Jellett Rapid Test accepted by the
Interstate Shellfish Sanitation Conference (ISSC) as a PSP screening method was accepted
at the August 2003 meeting in Portland, OR, pending final review by the US FDA.
The ISSC decided – quoting its resolution - to

“adopt [the Jellett Rapid Test for PSP] as a Type IV method with the following restrictions:

          (i)   Method can be used to determine when to perform a mouse bioassay in a previously
                closed area.
      (ii) A negative result can be substituted for a mouse bioassay to maintain an area in the
               open status.
        (iii) A positive result can be used for a precautionary closure.”

  Some regulators may want to undertake parallel testing in their local conditions,
  and to help defray the cost of this we are offering a validation package of test kits
  at half price. Interested parties will pay full price for the validation test strips and
  when we receive the data specified below the respective parties will be allowed to
  receive an additional 250 test strips for only the cost of shipping.
  We want to encourage regulatory laboratories to generate parallel data between
  the standard mouse bioassay and the Jellett Rapid Test for PSP, ASP, and DSP.

In exchange for the price reduction, the participating laboratory must agree:

	That these kits will be used to generate validation data between the AOAC mouse bioassay and the JRT Rapid Test for PSP, ASP, and DSP. We will also consider parallel data with JRT Rapid Test and HPLC or LCMS.
	That JRT will have access to all of the parallel validation data generated using the half price test kits;
	That parallel data will be collected with the AOAC mouse bioassay, HPLC, LCMS,
	That extracts will be prepared using the full AOAC extraction method for PSP, ASP, Methanol for DSP..

This offer is for a single lot of up to 250 kits.
