Neogen® Molecular Detection Assay – Listeria Right Now™
AOAC® PTM℠ certified rapid Listeria detection for environmental monitoring
Neogen® Listeria Right Now™ is AOAC® PTM℠ certified, giving you validated performance and audit-ready, defensible results.
You can move from testing to results in about two hours without enrichment, instead of 24–48 hours, and complete testing, recleaning, and retesting in the same shift.
Listeria Testing: Rapid. Reliable. Right Now.
Environmental monitoring results when timing directly impacts product safety and production decisions.
Swab with Ease
Designed for efficient surface sampling up to 30 cm × 30 cm, including hard-to-reach cracks and crevices.
No enrichment required
Supports same-shift decision making for faster response to potential contamination risks.
Results in ~2 Hours
Each tube contains a blue, color coded dehydrated pellet that reconstitutes easily when the sample is added and mixed by pipetting.
Now an AOAC Validated Performance Test
AOAC® Performance Tested Methods℠ certification confirms that the method performs as claimed and meets rigorous performance standards.
Neogen® Molecular Detection Assay Listeria Right Now™ has been certified under this program (No. 042604), validating enrichment-free detection of viable and non-viable Listeria species on stainless steel surfaces.

Share a few details and we’ll guide you through the next steps.
Target Contamination Entry Points in Real Time
Rapid detection supports faster identification of Listeria contamination risks, enabling timely corrective action within the same production shift.
