RESIST® Food enables laboratories to implement molecular detection of Listeria monocytogenes through a simple workflow, delivering qualitative results in 45 minutes post-enrichment, with technical support for implementation.

It integrates reagents, equipment, consumables, and Half Fraser enrichment media into a complete solution, helping in-house laboratories, production facilities, and service providers obtain rapid results, operate with a simple workflow, and make microbiological decisions more efficiently.

AOAC®-CERTIFIED MATRICES

RESIST® Food is certified under AOAC Performance Tested Methods℠ No. 032503 for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in food matrices and selected surfaces.

COMPLEX MATRICES

Protocols adapted to complex matrices

Not all foods behave the same way in a microbiological analysis.

A high fat content, complex background microbiota, inhibitory compounds, PCR interference, or low pathogen concentration can affect the method’s performance.

We work with you to evaluate the matrix, optimize conditions, and develop a reliable detection workflow for Listeria monocytogenes using RESIST® Food.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is RESIST® Food Listeria monocytogenes?

RESIST® Food Listeria monocytogenes is a PCR system for the rapid detection of the Listeria monocytogenes genome in food and on surfaces.

What technology does RESIST® Food use?

It uses PCR with rapid DNA extraction, molecular amplification, and automated result interpretation on the thermocycler.

What kind of results does RESIST® Food deliver?

It provides a qualitative result: presence or absence of Listeria monocytogenes according to the applicable protocol.

How long does it take to detect Listeria monocytogenes using RESIST® Food?

RESIST® Food delivers qualitative results within 45 minutes after enrichment. The total analysis time depends on the enrichment protocol applicable to each matrix.

Does RESIST® Food replace microbiological fortification?

No. RESIST® Food is used after enrichment. Its value lies in accelerating the molecular detection stage once the sample has already been enriched.

What enrichment media does RESIST® Food use for Listeria monocytogenes?

For the Listeria monocytogenes test, RESIST® Food uses Half Fraser broth in accordance with the protocol and the applicable matrix.
