Description

General description

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

Application

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

Features and Benefits

• Results in 24 hours for environmental samples and 32 hours for food samples
• 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 prep does not require heating blocks or preparation of reagents

Components

Each 576ATM (for PPMX Automation) kit includes:

• Listeria spp. Amplification Tubes Tq (0.2 mL)
• Listeria Concentration Reagent

For each 576ATM kit, the following are also necessary and should be ordered separately:

• 61031BC Wash Solution Kit
• 34745BC Listeria Resuspension Buffer Tq
