Rapid method for the detection of Listeria spp. and Listeria monocytogenes.

Listeria monocytogenes in food can be the cause of serious foodborne illness. In case of crisis cases, an analysis as fast as possible is required.

BAV INSTITUT has developed a rapid method for the direct detection of Listeria spp. and Listeria monocytogenes in food within 6h. Thus, we offer the fastest test method worldwide to quantify Listeria monocytogenes.

Previous test methods allow statements about contamination with Listeria
monocytogenes in food after 20 to 24 hours at the earliest.

The BAV Institute will be pleased to assist you in all aspects of Listeria testing.

We can support you with the following tests, among others:

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

We provide you with fast and reliable results.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service representatives.
