Listeria monocytogenes Rapid Test Kit
Brand: FSTest
10–15 mins Strip Reaction Time | 1–10 CFU High Sensitivity (g/mL) | High Specificity Monoclonal Antibody | Clear Visual Two-Line Interpretation |
The FSTest Listeria monocytogenes Rapid Test Kit is a highly sensitive immunochromatographic strip assay designed for rapid qualitative screening of Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat (RTE) foods, dairy products, meat, and environmental surfaces.
Utilizing colloidal gold lateral flow immunoassay technology with highly specific monoclonal antibodies against L. monocytogenes, this test kit delivers intuitive visual results in just 10 to 15 minutes post-enrichment. It serves as an essential rapid screening tool for food processors and QA laboratories to detect cold-tolerant pathogen contamination early and protect food safety.
Rapid & Actionable Results: Test strip produces clear qualitative results in 10–15 minutes after sample enrichment, significantly reducing hold time for ready-to-eat products.
High Monoclonal Specificity: Specifically targets L. monocytogenes without cross-reactivity to non-pathogenic Listeria species or other background bacteria.
Easy Visual Interpretation: Clear two-line readout (Control line and Test line) allows straightforward manual reading without specialized instruments.
User-Friendly Format: Compact, individually foil-wrapped test cassettes require minimal training and hands-on preparation time.
Cost-Effective Pathogen Control: Provides an economical prescreening alternative to expensive molecular (PCR) or lengthy traditional culture methods.

Critical for screening high-risk food sectors and environmental monitoring programs:
STEP 1 Enrich Inoculate sample into selective Listeria enrichment broth (e.g., HALF Fraser) and incubate per standard protocol. | STEP 2 Apply Pipette 2–3 drops (approx. 100 µL) of enriched sample broth into the sample well (S) of the test cassette. | STEP 3 React Allow the test strip to incubate at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes for lateral flow color development. | STEP 4 Read Observe lines: C Line only = Negative; C & T Lines visible = Presumptive Positive for L. monocytogenes. |
The FSTest Listeria monocytogenes Rapid Test Kit is validated to deliver high accuracy for pathogen screening:
High Method Agreement: Correlates strongly (> 95%) with standard reference culture methods (ISO 11290).
Target Specificity: Monoclonal antibody formulation ensures excellent differentiation against background non-target flora.
Strict Manufacturing Standards: Produced under ISO 9001, ISO14001 and ISO 45001 certified management systems.
Microbial Test Sampling Box: Portable kit containing pipettes, tubes, and sampling tools for environmental pathogen screening.
