Food safety demands control at every stage. From incoming materials to environmental monitoring and finished product release, consistent pathogen testing protects your brand, your customers and your bottom line.

A single contamination event can lead to recalls, production downtime and regulatory action. Reliable detection gives you the clarity to act quickly and decisively.

The Neogen® Molecular Detection System delivers rapid, dependable pathogen detection across a wide range of food and environmental matrices. It is designed for routine laboratory workflows and supports efficient, high-throughput testing without adding unnecessary complexity.

The system uses Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification technology to detect pathogen DNA quickly and sensitively.

You can achieve same or next day results for most validated matrices. Faster turnaround means quicker product release decisions and reduced operational disruption.

Methods are validated by internationally recognised organisations including AOAC Official Methods of Analysis and AOAC Performance Tested Methods. This supports regulatory compliance and audit readiness.

When results influence product release or corrective action, you need data you can rely on.

1. Set it up
Power up the system, launch the software and enter your sample data. Transfer enriched samples into prefilled lysis tubes.
2. Run the test
Heat and cool the lysis tubes. Add the sample lysate to the reagent tubes.
3. Get results
Load the instrument, press start and walk away. Monitor real-time presumptive results as pathogen DNA is detected.

Get cutting-edge technology that evolves to meet your needs with the next generation of Neogen Molecular Detection Assays. Our portfolio of products is constantly growing — so when the market changes, we’re there with the latest technology.

Using isothermal DNA amplification and bioluminescence detection to overcome the limitations of older systems, these assays detect as low as 1-5 CFU of target per original sample even in the most challenging sample matrices.

Ready-to-use reagents minimise the chance for error, a colour-change process control gives you increased confidence and a streamlined workflow reduces technician time by 30%*. It’s easy to learn, easy to use and easy to implement.

Now, there’s a better way to test for bacteria associated with food production. Find new efficiencies and simplify the distraction of time-consuming pathogen testing with Molecular Detection System. It’s significantly faster than alternatives like PCR, immunoassay and culture methods, so you can free up your lab to focus on what really matters: quality and productivity.

The MDS detects a wide range of foodborne pathogens, including Salmonella, Listeria spp, and Listeria monocytogenes to E. coli O157, Campylobacter, and Cronobacter. This versatile system works effectively across various food types and environments. For easy identification, reagent tubes come color-coded by organism.

A small device can have a big impact on your lab’s performance. Featuring a compact footprint that fits in any lab, a solid design with no moving parts and automatic diagnostics at startup, this affordable instrument requires minimal maintenance.

With a high capacity of 96 tests and the flexibility to run all assays simultaneously, you can maximise your output.

When you’re making important choices that could impact businesses and public health, you need software that’s intuitive and powerful.

The Molecular Detection Software gets you results when you need them — along with a user-friendly interface for quick setup and real-time results for faster decisions.
