The RiboFlow^® Listeria Twin Detection Kit enables highly specific yet very simple detection of Listeria monocytogenes and other Listeria species within just a few minutes, with little effort and equipment.

A ribosomal RNA sequence specific for Listeria monocytogenes and a second rRNA sequence specific for all Listeria species is detected simultaneously by a proprietary nucleic acid hybridisation protocol in a simple lateral flow assay format within 25 minutes. Tedious nucleic acid purification or enzymatic amplification of the target sequence is not necessary.

Using this approach, a dual result from one test run can be obtained. As well as information on the absence of Listeria monocytogenes (ISO 16140-2 validated protocol), the test also gives an indication of the presence or absence of Listeria spp.

Test kits come in a convenient box with a very small footprint containing all reagents ready to use. The kits have a long shelf life and can be stored at ambient temperature. The devices can also be used to confirm single suspicious colonies from any selective or non-selective agar plate and could be an additional tool for rapid molecular confirmation.
