A large dairy product manufacturer expressed interest in an alternate PCR method for the detection of Genus Listeria in their environmental and product testing program due to recurring false-positive detections and high levels of environmental Genus Listeria positives in the recent past. Our objective was to compare the performance of two PCR based methods for Genus Listeria detection.

This poster explores the use of flow cytometry in GFP-tagged Salmonella strains as positive controls for rapid qualitative Salmonella detection testing.

This study seeks to establish the detectability of Listeria species in probiotic cultures and estimate the sensitivity of detection.

Pathogen detection in foods and environmental samples is a critical element in a food management system. This study set out to compare the robustness of Loop Mediated Amplification (LAMP) with that of PCR as illustrated by the detection threshold of Listeria and Salmonella spiked into culture broths previously incubated with various spices.

Salmonella depends on an effective food safety program supported by robust Salmonella detection methods. Our objective is to explore recovery of Salmonella from a background of probiotic cultures and demonstrate and validate as effective, sensitive method for detecting Salmonella in probiotic cultures to protect public health.

The success of such programs hinges not only on consistent implementation and testing, but also on the effective swabbing of your plant. Below are the top 5 mistakes our experts see plants make when sampling and submitting swabs and sponges for testing.

In this webinar, Dr. Douglas Marshall, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Eurofins Microbiology, outlines his most valuable tips for an effective environmental monitoring program.
