Our ELS assay provides rapid, highly sensitive detection of key bacterial groups of concern in food, raw materials, and environmental monitoring samples. Powered by multiplex molecular diagnostics, this assay simultaneously screens for Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Listeria species, and Listeria monocytogenes in a single reaction—offering broad contamination coverage without the delays or limitations of culture-based testing.
This assay is designed for facilities that must detect contamination early and respond quickly to protect product integrity and consumer safety. By consolidating multiple targets into one streamlined workflow, the assay delivers rapid results even in complex or inhibitory sample matrices, enabling faster decision-making and reducing production downtime.
Key Advantages of Our Multiplex Molecular Approach
- Wide Contamination Coverage – Detects multiple major bacterial groups in a single test, improving risk evaluation and reducing blind spots.
- Rapid Turnaround – Results available in 2-3 working days, supporting fast response and corrective action.
- High Sensitivity – Capable of identifying low-level contamination that may evade traditional culture workflows.
- Cost Efficiency – Multiplexing reduces the number of tests, consumables, and sample volumes required.
- Supports Diverse Sample Types – Performs reliably with food products, raw materials, and environmental swabs.
- Reduced Matrix Interference – Digital partitioning technology improves accuracy in challenging or inhibitory sample types.
- Consistent, Reproducible Results – Ideal for routine monitoring and trend analysis across facilities.
