Listeria monocytogenes is one of the most dangerous bacteria that can be found in food. This pathogen is mainly found in raw, undercooked, or improperly stored foods such as meat, fish, dairy products, and even plant-based products. It poses a serious health risk, especially for pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals, as it can cause listeriosis – an infection that can have serious health consequences, including miscarriage or meningitis. The Federal Institute for Risk Assessment has summarized more detailed information.
The rapid and reliable detection of Listeria in food is therefore crucial for food safety and consumer protection. To ensure that food does not contain bacteria that are harmful to health, food producers and laboratories must be able to identify these pathogens quickly and accurately.
The SureFast® Listeria 3plex ONE real-time PCR Kit: Efficient and reliable
The SureFast® Listeria 3plex ONE real-time PCR Kit (Art. Nr. F5217) offers an innovative solution for the rapid and reliable detection of Listeria spp. and Listeria monocytogenes in various foods. The kit combines simple and time-saving DNA extraction with highly accurate real-time PCR analysis. Once the DNA from the samples has been prepared, it can be used directly for PCR analysis without the need for time-consuming intermediate processes.
A particular highlight of the kit is that both Listeria spp. and the particularly dangerous pathogen Listeria monocytogenes can be detected and differentiated simultaneously. This solution not only saves valuable time, but also reduces the cost of testing.
Versatile and AOAC and MicroVal certified
The kit can be used safely in a wide range of foods, including meat and sausage products, dairy products, fish, salads, and even plant-based foods such as vegan products.
SureFast® Listeria 3plex has received the following external validations:
