DiAGSure® Listeria Monocytogenes Detection Kit (Multiplex, TaqMan Based)

Catalog No.: GDQ6009-20R, GDQ6009-50R, GDQ6009-100R
Intent to use:
Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive bacterium and a major cause of listeriosis—a potentially life-threatening infection transmitted through contaminated food. It poses a significant risk to vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, neonates, elderly individuals, and the immunocompromised. Clinical manifestations range from mild gastroenteritis and flu-like symptoms to invasive disease forms, including septicemia, meningitis, encephalitis, and adverse pregnancy outcomes like miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal listeriosis. The pathogen’s resilience in cold and processed food environments makes early, accurate detection essential for both public health safety and clinical management. The DiAGSure® Listeria monocytogenes Detection Kit (2 markers) is a high-performance real-time PCR assay that targets two independent genetic markers of L. monocytogenes, providing increased specificity and reliability. The kit includes pre-optimized reagents and internal controls, ensuring rapid and robust detection across clinical, food safety, and environmental surveillance settings.

Key Specifications:
 Detects Listeria monocytogenes, the causative agent of listeriosis.
 Identifies infections linked to septicemia, meningitis, miscarriage, and stillbirth.
 Dual-target assay ensures robust confirmation by detecting two independent genetic markers for enhanced specificity.
 High sensitivity enables reliable detection even in low bacterial load or early-stage samples.
 Ideal for clinical, food safety, and environmental testing due to wide applicability.
 Pre-optimized Master Mix with internal control minimizes hands-on time and contamination risk.
 Fully compatible with major real-time PCR platforms; CDSCO approved for clinical diagnostics and food industry use.

Sample types:
Cerebrospinal fluid, Whole blood or blood culture, stool and throat swabs.
