Listeria monocytogenes is the species of pathogenic gram-positive bacteria that causes the infection listeriosis. It can grow and reproduce inside the host's cells and is one of the most virulent foodborne pathogens: 20 to 30% of food borne listeriosis infections in high-risk individuals may be fatal. L. monocytogenes is ubiquitous in the environment and can be isolated from soil, plant material, animals and even marine fish and seafood. It has also been found in a very wide variety of food products, but its presence is particularly hazardous in chilled processed foods with a long shelf life, such as smoked fish, soft cheeses and ready-to-eat cooked meats.
This kit is used for qualitative detection of Listeria monocytogenes nucleic acid (DNA) in food samples (meat products, cans, etc.). Listeria monocytogenes can grow and reproduce in foods such as dairy products, meat products, fish, canned food, and produce a variety of virulence factors. It is one of the important pathogenic bacteria causing food poisoning. The kit for research use only, can not be used alone as the sole criteria for diagnosing or excluding cases.
The Listeria monocytogenes Lyophilized Nucleic Acid Detection Kit (Fluorescence PCR) is utilized in various fields such as food safety testing, clinical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring. It enables accurate and rapid detection of Listeria monocytogenes contamination in food products, clinical samples, and environmental samples, contributing to public health and safety.
- The unopened kit should be stored at -25°C-8°C away from light.
- The kit can be stored for up to 12 months if all components are kept in themanner above. Do not use after the stated expiry date.
- Don't open aluminum pouch unless you are ready to use the kit.
- The lyophilized reagents (reaction mixture) reconstituted with water should be stored at -25°C--15°C away from light for up to 1 week. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw (no more than 2 times).
- The kit can be transported at up to 37°C for no more than 1 month.
