24 hour bacteria screening with Lumiprobe. (Plant).In response to the needs of the food industry, Europrobe has launched an innovative range of quick kits for detecting the presence of pathogenic path·o·gen·ic or path·o·ge·net·ic adj. 1. Having the capability to cause disease. 2. Producing disease. 3. Relating to pathogenesis. germs. The Lumiprobe 24 requires just 24 hours to detect Salmonella salmonella Any of the rod-shaped, gram-negative, non-oxygen-requiring bacteria that make up the genus Salmonella. Their main habitat is the intestinal tract of humans and other animals. and Listeria Listeria /Lis·te·ria/ (lis-ter´e-ah) a genus of gram-negative bacteria (family Corynebacterium); L. monocyto´genes causes listeriosis. Lis·te·ri·a n. bacteria. The method is 100% reliable, both for small batches in test tubes or microscope plates, and also for high volume analysis or automated laboratories. These tests do not require new equipment and can be carried out in all QC laboratories. The Lumiprobe tests use nucleic sensors developed for detecting Listeria and Salmonella bacteria. The advantages of the technique lie in its ease of use, its automation, the quality of its results, a response time of less than 24 hours, and the ability of controlling costs for the users. Luminescent lu·mi·nes·cent adj. Capable of, suitable for, or exhibiting luminescence. [Latin l  men, l readings are achievable thanks to the joint use of
biotechnological innovations in terms of genetic probes used in sandwich
hybridisation. The protocol is extremely sensitive and can easily be
used by all personnel experienced in the screening of pathogens.
There is first a single 20-hour enrichment phase in a specific "RM" mixture, supplied ready to use in liquid or powder form. Thereafter the identification phase takes less than 2 hours and only requires simple procedures such as pipetting, incubation incubation /in·cu·ba·tion/ (in?ku-ba´shun) 1. the provision of proper conditions for growth and development, as for bacterial or tissue cultures. 2. , rinsing and reading. This nucleic hybridisation technique is performed on the rRNA of the target bacteria and can detect, without false positives or negatives, a single bacterium bacterium /bac·te·ri·um/ (bak-ter´e-um) pl. bacte´ria [L.] in general, any of the unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms that commonly multiply by cell division, lack a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, and possess a cell regardless of the sample area.
