3M™ Molecular Detection System for Pathogen Testing

3M™ Molecular Detection System Brochure (PDF, 2.3 MB)

3M Food Safety listened to our customers to develop an innovative approach to pathogen detection that gives organisations control over their time, protocol, process, productivity, quality and brand.

Powered by unique technologies — Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) and Bioluminescence Detection — the 3M™ Molecular Detection System is a fast, accurate, easy-to-use and affordable solution.

Read more about LAMP amplification technology

The 3M™ Molecular Detection System uses Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) technology, which is robust, efficient, sensitive and specific. 3M™ Molecular Detection Assays 2 are set up to allow flexible configurations, including traditional microbiological controls and adjacent laboratory process controls. By utilising molecular microbiology for pathogen detection, LAMP amplification technology gives you more control over your testing process.

In comparison, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology, commonly used in DNA-based pathogen detection, uses Internal Amplification Control because of its own limitations and susceptibility to inhibition from sample matrices, which can lead to false negative results.

The future is green — make sure your lab is, too, with 3M™ Molecular Detection Assay 2 - Salmonella.
