Our detection method: Fast, simple, and reliable
A 5-step method for environmental monitoring
Sampling
Suited to both flat surfaces and hard-to-reach areas (corners, joints, equipment). Sampling follows your environmental monitoring plan.
Lysis
The LoopiX acts as a heating block, to release the genetic material contained in the sample collected.
Purification
Purification of the genetic material and removal of inhibitors, for a reliable, actionable result.
The PurifiX range offers different solutions, tailored to your needs.
Amplification
LoopiX automates the target genetic material amplification phase using RT-LAMP technology.
Result
Absent / present result displayed directly on the LoopiX.
Traceability ensured by a dedicated, intuitive, and secure tool.
Why this method?
90 minutes from sampling to result, versus 24 to 72h with conventional methods
A faster result allows you to:
- React and trigger corrective actions as early as possible.
- Limit the consequences of contamination.
- Block product distribution to avoid a product recall and the associated extra costs.
Trustworthy results for an optimized process
A reliable, fast result allows you to:
- Limit storage costs while waiting for results.
- Avoid the extra costs of non-quality (recall, logistics, destruction, …)
- Protect your brand image and your company.
- Adjust and control your cleaning protocols based on your environment and risks.
An on-site, easy-to-master solution
Easily deployed on-site directly by your teams, this added control allows you to:
- Decide the timing and frequency of your analyses.
- Adapt analyses to the risk level, depending on zones and periods.
- Define control points across your production environment, down to the smallest corners.

Frequently asked questions about our LoopDeetect method
Qu'est-ce que la certification AOAC PTM et pourquoi est-ce important ?
The AOAC Performance Tested Methods℠ is an independent certification program from the AOAC Research Institute, a global benchmark for validating food safety methods. It guarantees that a method’s performance has been evaluated using rigorous protocols, benchmarked against the industry’s reference methods.
Our LoopDeetect method is AOAC PTM certified for the Listeria monocytogenes protocol without enrichment. This means this method, which is simple to use in the field and requires no specific expertise, delivers the same performance as reference methods, with results in under 90 minutes.

Cette méthode remplace-t-elle les analyses microbiologiques en laboratoire ?
Our method is positioned as a complement to conventional microbiological analysis methods. It’s a genuine decision-support and rapid screening tool, allowing you to react immediately in the event of a positive result, before laboratory confirmation if needed.
Quelle est la différence entre cette méthode, la PCR classique et les méthodes traditionnelles de culture ?
Unlike conventional culture methods (48 to 72h), our RT-LAMP technology delivers a result in 90 minutes maximum. Unlike conventional PCR, which requires a thermocycler and precise temperature cycles, RT-LAMP operates at a constant temperature, making it simpler to deploy directly on-site.
Cette méthode est-elle adaptée à un usage industriel, directement sur le terrain ?
Yes. Designed for pathogen detection in the production environment, our solution deploys directly on-site, with no dedicated lab infrastructure required — a genuine field solution for your quality teams.
Des entreprises utilisent déjà cette technologie aujourd'hui ?
Our solutions support players in the food processing, feed, and pet food industries in their industrial food safety approach.
Check out our case study with Norwegian Seafood.
Combien de temps faut-il pour obtenir un résultat complet ?
90 minutes maximum, from sampling to an actionable result on an environmental sample. A rapid pathogen detection that genuinely changes your field responsiveness.
Quelles compétences sont nécessaires pour réaliser un test ?
The handling is simple and intuitive: just a few liquid transfers (only two pipetting steps with LoopiX and PurifiX8). It takes just a few hours of training to get up to speed, with no microbiology expertise required. Genuine autonomy for your quality teams in production.
Quels types d'échantillons peuvent être analysés ?
The method allows the analysis of environmental samples (surfaces, equipment, hard-to-reach areas) as well as product samples, thanks to protocols specifically adapted to each matrix to ensure reliable results.
Les résultats sont-ils exploitables dans un cadre réglementaire (HACCP) ?
Our method fully integrates into a HACCP approach. A simple, fast tool that strengthens day-to-day quality control, helping to limit the risk of product recall and the associated health, financial, and reputational consequences.
