Description

General description

VIP^® Gold for Listeria is a single-step visual immunoassay for the detection of Listeria. Lateral flow tests are immunoassays for detecting food pathogens with the ultimate convenience. These tests act as mini laboratory by covering the major pathogens. They also include a built-in control reaction for optimized pathogen testing. The test is designed to use with enrichment media for food and environmental pathogen detection.

Application

VIP^® Gold for Listeria is a single-step visual immunoassay for the detection of Listeria designed to be used with enrichment media in food and environmental samples

Features and Benefits
