Intended Use
The Reveal for Listeria test system provides for the rapid recovery of
Listeria spp. in foods and environmental samples, allowing detection
and presumptive identification of the test organism within 43 hours.
The Test
A preheated portion (135 µL) of the secondary enrichment culture
is placed into the sample port of the Reveal test device. The sample
flows through the lateral flow device providing distinct, visible results.
If a line develops only in the control zone, the sample is negative for
Listeria. If lines are present in the control and test zones, the sample
is presumptively positive for Listeria.
