Neogen ANSR Listeria detection system

ANSR for Listeria is the second test available for Neogen’s ANSR pathogen detection system and provides results after 20 minutes of reaction time. In comparison, other commercially available molecular amplification tests require up to 3 hours’ reaction time. The test’s approval from the AOAC Research Institute is pending.

Combined with ANSR’s single enrichment step, Neogen’s pathogen detection method for Listeria can provide definitive results in as few as 16 h from the time the sample is taken.

Neogen’s ANSR is an isothermal amplification reaction test method that exponentially amplifies the DNA of any bacteria present in samples to detectable levels in minutes. According to the company, the system was designed to combine molecular-level accuracy with a scalable low-cost instrument and a methodology that can be easily incorporated into a testing laboratory’s existing workflow. The system’s small benchtop footprint and simple procedure make it an easy fit in laboratory settings.
