NeoGen Japan Pathogen Automatic Detection System (MDS)

A rapid and simple genetic testing method based on the LAMP method for qualitatively detecting various pathogens, characterized by its straightforward operational procedure.

The specific genes of target pathogens contained in the sample are amplified, and the byproducts generated during the gene amplification process are converted into ATP luminescence. By detecting the luminescence with a device, real-time monitoring of gene amplification is performed, allowing for rapid determination of the presence or absence of the target pathogen. **Features** - Automatic determination by software means that the results are not influenced by experience or individual differences, unlike culture methods. - Real-time detection of bioluminescence allows for positive results in as little as 15 minutes and negative results in 60 to 75 minutes. - A simple flow of enrichment → lysis → DNA amplification yields highly reproducible results, even for inspectors unfamiliar with genetic testing. - Testing can be performed with just two pipetting steps using a micropipette, reducing human error. - The common operational procedures regardless of bacterial species reduce the training burden on-site. - Most reagents have been certified by third-party certification bodies as valid testing methods and are included in the "Food Sanitation Inspection Guidelines for Microorganisms, Revised 2nd Edition 2018." - It is specified as an approved simple measurement device in the notification from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare regarding the "Testing method using a simple measurement device certified by A.O.A.C. (OMA)" issued to domestic quarantine stations (October 7, 2016).
