Ez-check listeria spp. and L. monocytogenes PCR kits
EZ-Check Listeria kits are Bio-Rad's next-generation real-time PCR solutions for rapid Listeria detection in food and environmental samples, with AOAC Performance Tested Methods certification (2026).
Overview
The EZ-Check Listeria kits provide separate assays for Listeria spp. (all Listeria species) and Listeria monocytogenes (the primary human pathogen). Like the EZ-Check Salmonella kit, these feature streamlined two-step workflows, multiplex amplification with internal false-negative controls, and the patented duplex detection system. Both kits received AOAC Performance Tested Methods certification in February 2026, validating their performance across food and environmental matrices.
