Description

General description

Assurance GDS^®, genetic detection system, for Listeria monocytogenes Tq is an automated nucleic acid amplification system for the detection of Listeria monocytogeness in food and environmental samples. The proprietary PickPen^® IMS-based sample preparation procedure quickly and effectively captures Listeria monocytogenes, separating the pathogen from inhibitory background materials ensuring valid PCR reactions for all sample types, including challenging food and environmental samples. Assurance GDS^® PCR technology provides two additional levels of specificity through the use of both highly specific primers and probes to ensure accurate detection of Listeria monocytogenes.

Application

GDS, genetic detection system, for Listeria monocytogenes Tq is an automated nucleic acid amplification system for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in foods, ingredients, and environmental samples.

Features and Benefits

• Results in 24 hours for environmental samples and select foods
• Single-step enrichment reduces handling time
• Validated for liquid milk, Mexican soft cheese, frankfurters, deli turkey, raw fish, raw green beans, stainless steel, rubber, concrete, plastic, among others
• Features innovative PickPen^® immunomagnetic separation (IMS) for additional specificity and faster time to results
• Simplified sample preparation does not require heating blocks or preparation of reagents

Components

Each 576 test kit includes:

• Listeria monocytogenes Amplification Tubes Tq (0.1 mL)
• Listeria Concentration Reagent
• Listeria Resuspension Buffer Tq
• Wash Solution

NOTE: The 100 kit includes standard 0.2 mL amp tubes whereas the 576 kit includes smaller 0.1 mL amp tubes.  The 576 kit requires additional equipment tools to process per the kit Directions for Use.
