NEW "TentaSpeed L. mono": Detection of Listeria spp. & Listeria monocytogenes in food in 6h!

With the newly developed rapid method "TentaSpeed L. mono" at the BAV INSTITUTE, low counts of Listeria spp. and/or L. monocytogenes in food can be detected within just 6 hours.

The procedure has been successfully tested for various food groups, such as meat and fish products, dairy products and cheese, salads, delicatessen and convenience products. The detection limit is < 20 CFU/g.

The detection of bacteria in the new 6-hour rapid method "TentaSpeed L. mono", as in the 24-hour method, is based on RT-PCR. However, with this rapid method, several steps are carried out to concentrate the bacteria before detection.

The BAV INSTITUTE has achieved a breakthrough with this, as results of Listeria spp. and Listeria monocytogenes in food are available within a few hours for the first time.
