Neogen® Molecular Detection System™

Confidence at Every Step of Pathogen Detection

Streamline your pathogen testing process with the Neogen® Molecular Detection System™ (MDS)—a simplified, yet highly advanced solution designed to deliver fast, accurate results. MDS combines three essential components: Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP)-based detection assays, a Molecular Detection Instrument, and intuitive software to create a seamless workflow from sample to result.

With assays available for five major pathogen groups—some of which have multiple options—the system offers the flexibility to meet diverse testing needs. A single post-enrichment protocol supports all qualitative detection, enabling simultaneous testing for multiple pathogens. Ready-to-use reagents and same or next-day results help reduce turnaround time and labour costs, while maintaining confidence in your food safety program.

  •   One Protocol – Simplifies workflow with fewer steps and colour-coded guidance.
  •  Fast & Reliable – LAMP technology delivers presumptive positive results in as little as 15 minutes run time with built-in system checks.
  •   High Throughput – Compact system supports up to 4 instruments and 384 samples per run.
  •  Robust Performance- LAMP technology is more tolerable to common PCR inhibitors.
  •  Ready-to-Use Simplicity – No buffers or mixes needed; one process for all pathogens after enrichment.
