Storage and Disposal
Store the 3M Molecular Detection Assay 2 - Listeria monocytogenes at 2-8°C. Do not freeze. Keep kit away from light
during storage. After opening the kit, check that the foil pouch is undamaged. If the pouch is damaged, do not use. After
opening, unused reagent tubes should always be stored in the re-sealable pouch with the desiccant inside to maintain
stability of the lyophilized reagents. Store resealed pouches at 2-8°C for no longer than 60 days.
Do not use 3M Molecular Detection Assay 2 - Listeria monocytogenes past the expiration date. Expiration date and lot
number are noted on the outside label of the box. After use, the enrichment medium and the 3M Molecular Detection
Assay 2 - Listeria monocytogenes tubes can potentially contain pathogenic materials. When testing is complete, follow
current industry standards for the disposal of contaminated waste. Consult the Safety Data Sheet for additional information
and local regulations for disposal.
Instructions for Use
Follow all instructions carefully. Failure to do so may lead to inaccurate results.
Periodically decontaminate laboratory benches and equipment (pipettes, cap/decap tools, etc.) with a 1- 5% (v:v in water)
household bleach solution or DNA removal solution.
The user should complete the 3M Molecular Detection System operator qualification (OQ) training, as described in the
"Installation Qualification (IQ) / Operational Qualification (OQ) Protocols and Instructions for 3M Molecular Detection
System" document .

See Section "Specific Instructions for validated methods" for specific requirements:
Table 3 for enrichment protocols according to AOAC
Certificate #081501
Table 4 for enrichment protocols according to NF Validation certificate 3M 01/15-09/16
Sample Enrichment
Tables 2, 3 or 4 present guidance for the enrichment of food and environmental samples. It is the user's responsibility to
validate alternate sampling protocols or dilution ratios to ensure this test method meets the user's criteria.
Foods
1. Allow the Demi-Fraser Broth enrichment medium (includes ferric ammonium citrate) to equilibrate to ambient laboratory
temperature.
2. Aseptically combine the enrichment medium and sample according to Tables 2, 3 or 4. For all meat and highly
particulate samples, the use of filter bags is recommended.
3. Homogenize thoroughly by blending, stomaching, or hand mixing for 2 ± 0.2 minutes. Incubate at 37 ±1°C according to
Tables 2, 3 or 4.
4. If required (See Tables 2, 3 or 4), transfer 0.1 mL of the primary enrichment into 10 mL of Fraser Broth. Incubate at 37
±1°C for 20-24 hours
Environmental Samples
Sample collection devices can be a sponge hydrated with a neutralizing solution to inactivate the effects of the sanitizers.
3M recommends the use of a biocide-free cellulose sponge. Neutralizing solution can be Dey-Engley (D/E) Neutralizing
Broth or Letheen broth. It is recommended to sanitize the area after sampling.
WARNING: Should you select to use Neutralizing Buffer (NB) that contains aryl sulfonate complex as the hydrating
solution for the sponge, it is required to perform a 1:2 dilution (1 part sample into 1 part sterile enrichment broth) of the
enriched environmental sample before testing in order to reduce the risks associated with a false-negative result leading
to the release of contaminated product
The recommended size of the sampling area to verify the presence or absence of the pathogen on the surface is at least
100 cm (10 cm x 10 cm or 4"x4"). When sampling with a sponge, cover the entire area going in two directions (left to right
2
then up and down) or collect environmental samples following your current sampling protocol or according to the FDA
