3M Unveils Next Generation, Faster Assays For Detecting Foodborne Pathogens
3M food safety announced a next generation of 3M Molecular Detection Assays: the 3M Molecular Detection Assay 2 - Listeria and 3M Molecular Detection Assay 2 - Listeria monocytogenes.
Based on the same combination of advanced technologies used in all 3M Molecular Detection Assays - isothermal DNA amplification and bioluminescence detection - these next-generation assays use new chemistry to deliver accurate results with shorter enrichment times and improved productivity.
"The next-generation 3M Molecular Detection Assay 2 tests came to life through ongoing customer engagement and 3M innovation, and we are excited to provide these improvements to our customers while maintaining a fundamental aspect of our original assays - one protocol for all pathogens." said John David, global marketing supervisor with 3M Food Safety.
Applicable to environmental samples and a broad range of food types (dairy products, ready-to-eat and raw meats, fish and seafood, fruits and vegetables) and using a standard enrichment medium, the next generation assays for Listeria and Listeria monocytogenes provide a faster time-to-result after as little as 24 hours of enrichment.
These assays use a streamlined workflow that is 30 percent faster than first generation assays, enabled by new lysis chemistry that utilizesproprietary3M nanotechnology and features a unique color-change indicator for increased control during assay processing, the company said. (dpa)
