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 labor costs, while maintaining confidence in your food safety program.
-
One Protocol – Simplifies workflow with fewer steps and color-coded guidance.
-
Fast & Reliable – LAMP technology delivers results in as little as 15 minutes with built-in system checks.
-
High Throughput – Compact system supports up to 4 instruments and 384 samples per run.
-
Robust Performance- LAMP DNA amplification tolerates common PCR inhibitors.
-
Ready-to-Use Simplicity – No buffers or mixes needed; one process for all pathogens after enrichment.
The Choice of the USDA
The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service has selected the Neogen® Molecular Detection System as the primary method of detection for Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, Listeria spp. and Salmonella Enteritidis / Salmonella Typhimurium.
