Overview
- Detection kit for Listeria monocytogenes
- CE-IVDD marked in accordance with the European Commission Directive 98/79/EC.
- Research version available
- Available in TaqMan Probe format for analysis.
Listeria monocytogenes have emerged as significant foodborne pathogens that pose a serious public health problem. As the causative agent of Listeriosis, L. monocytogenes has the highest rate of fatality rate among all foodborne pathogens. L. monocytogenes is a facultatively intracellular, Gram-positive bacterium that could survive high and low temperatures, low pH. It is a rare causative agent of mastitis in cow. However, due to its ability to resist various food processing technologies as well as to grow at low temperature, L. monocytogenes is know to be associated with both raw and pasteurized milk, as well as dairy products such as cheese. As little as 1000 organisms may cause the disease with pregnant, new-born, and immunocompromised individuals the most susceptible.

Storage Conditions
The Listeria monocytogenes TaqMan PCR Kit Dx is shipped on dry ice. The components of the kit should be frozen upon arrival. If one or more of the components is not frozen when the kit is received, or if any of the components have been compromised during shipment, please contact Norgen Biotek for assistance. All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 3 x) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.
