BAV Institute leading in the examination of Listeria and Listeria monocytogenes

Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes has been increasingly responsible for severe foodborne illnesses and recalls in recent years. In crisis situations, fast and reliable results are an important tool to make crucial decisions promptly.

The BAV Institute is at your service regarding all matters related to Listeria testing.

We can support you with the following examinations:

• Comparison of Listeria isolates to determine the source of the strains in positive findings (e.g., do the Listeria in the final product come from a raw material or the environment?)
• Challenge or load tests with Listeria monocytogenes
• Other rapid methods for food or environmental samples in 24h or 48h
• Rapid method for the quantitative detection of Listeria monocytogenes in 6h: Tentaspeed L.Mono

Previous examination methods provide information on contamination with Listeria
monocytogenes in foods after approximately 20 to 24 hours. The BAV INSTITUT has developed a rapid method for the direct detection of Listeria spp. and Listeria monocytogenes within 6h in foods. Thus, we offer the fastest testing method worldwide to quantify Listeria monocytogenes .
