| screening test |
test by which it can be determined within short time and with comparably little effort whether unwanted substances, spoilage microorganisms or pathogens are present in the examined substrate. Screening tests generally give only qualitative or semi-quantitative results which then have to be quantified by a more accurate method to prove that residues or spoilage microorganisms exceed the limit or to substantiate the presence of pathogens like Salmonella or the BSE agent.
