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

Listeria monocytogenes in food can cause serious foodborne illnesses. In crisis situations, the fastest possible analysis is required.

The BAV INSTITUTE has developed a rapid method for the direct detection of Listeria spp. and Listeria monocytogenes within 6 hours in food. With this, we offer the fastest testing method worldwide to quantify Listeria monocytogenes.

Previous testing methods allow conclusions about contaminations with Listeria
monocytogenes in food only after approximately 20 to 24 hours.

The BAV Institute is pleased to assist you with all matters related to listeria testing.

We can support you with the following investigations among others:

• Comparison of listeria isolates to determine the origin of strains in positive samples (e.g. do the listeria in the final product come from a raw material or the environment?)
• Challenge or stress 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

We provide fast and reliable results.
Our customer advisors are very happy to assist you with any questions.
