View Our Pathogen Testing Products
Detect foodborne pathogens in a wide variety of foods and food environments with our full line of pathogen testing. From Salmonella, Listeria spp, and Listeria monocytogenes to E. coli O157, Campylobacter, and Cronobacter, we offer the broad range of pathogen testing you need.
Get Reliable Results in Three Steps
Using the Molecular Detection System is straightforward, without the need for extensive training.
Step 1: Set It Up
Power up the system, launch the software, and enter your data. Transfer enriched samples to the pre-filled lysis tubes.
Step 2: Run the Test
Heat and cool the lysis tubes. Add the sample lysate to the reagent tubes.
Step 3: Get Results
Press start, load the instrument, and let it work. Monitor real-time presumptive results as pathogen DNA is detected.
Validations and Recognitions
Third-party validations confirm that our method has proven to be reliable and repeatable and performs equal to or better than the reference method to which it was compared.
- U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service: Selected as the primary detection method for Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, Listeria spp. and Salmonella Enteritidis/Salmonella Typhimurium.
- U.S. Food & Drug Administration: Designated Neogen’s Molecular Detection – Assay 2 Listeria as an equivalent testing methodology.
- AOAC® International: View assays certified as AOAC® Performance Tested MethodSM and AOAC® Official Method of AnalysisSM.
- AFNOR: View assays with NF VALIDATION certificate granted by AFNOR Certification.

Simplify Your Workflow with Advanced Technology
The Molecular Detection System will take your lab to the next level. Here’s how.
Simplified for Productivity
With one post-enrichment protocol and fewer steps than most tests on the market, our ready-to-use system makes it easy to train employees. Color-coded assay tubes with matching software screens make it simple to use. See how the time-to-results varies for four different pathogen testing technologies.
More Control, Faster Results
LAMP technology gives you more control at each step, including instrument self-check, matrix control, reagent control, and software control. Run all assays simultaneously, testing up to 96 samples in each run, with results in as little as 15 minutes.
Work More Efficiently
A space-saving design means you can do more, with less. Connect up to four instruments to the same computer for maximum throughput without additional work. You’ll drive productivity with a total capacity of 384.
