The 3M Molecular Detection System from 3M Food Safety is designed to quickly, accurately and easily detect dangerous pathogens, like salmonella, E. coli O157 and Listeria. Available worldwide, the system is based on a combination of unique technologies involving isothermal DNA amplification and bioluminescence detection. Individual, pathogen-specific assays and procedural tests are available as test kits. Each assay test kit uses the same software interface and DNA extraction protocol for testing between one and 96 samples per run. Assays for salmonella, E. coli O157 (including H7) and Listeria are available immediately; a test for Listeria monocytogenes is expected in early 2012.
