Scientists have recently developed a Listeria monocytogenes biosensor based on gold nanoparticles.
The innovation is an inexpensive, portable, disposable enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA)-based biosensing strip that detects L. monocytogenes theough gold particle-modified screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE).
The inventors claim that an SPCE strip can detect as little as one L. monocytogenes cell, and this is particularly valuable in countries such as the USA that have zero tolerance policy towards L. monocytogenes in foods.
