Neogen’s Reveal® test systems have everything to complete a pathogen screen, including the enrichment medium. Reveal’s lateral flow device combines an immunoassay with chromatography for a rapid and accurate one-step result. Results are available 15 minutes after enrichment. The tests’ unique antibodies ensure sensitivity and specificity. Built-in visual control lines provide definitive interpretations.

Neogen’s GeneQuence® rapid pathogen detection assays utilize DNA hybridization technology in a microwell format to accurately detect Salmonella, Listeria, or Listeria monocytogenes. GeneQuence’s flexible format allows the system to be used manually to run just a few samples at a time, or to run up to 372 samples at a time fully automated. With either method, GeneQuence provides results that are extremely specific and easy to interpret.

Neogen now offers NeoSEEK™, a breakthrough pathogen detection and identification technology that provides next day, DNA-specific test results for pathogenic STEC E. coli strains. Initially, Neogen will provide next-day results from enriched samples through its GeneSeek laboratory facilities for seven E. coli strains — O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, O145, and O157. NeoSEEK uses mass spectrometry-based multiplexing to develop a "DNA bar code" for bacteria, and then compares those results with the known genetic makeup of the target E. coli strains to identify and differentiate the target strains. NeoSEEK assays a total of 71 independent genetic markers to detect and identify, which provides actionable results much sooner than conventional cultural methods.
