The Hygiena InSite™ L. mono Glo is an easy-to-use, self-contained, environmental sampling and screening test for Listeria species and Listeria monocytogenes (L. mono).
Each device contains a chromogenic liquid media formulated with antibiotics, growth enhancers, and colour-changing compounds specific to Listeria plus fluorescent compounds specific to Listeria monocytogenes. The two-step test changes colour in the presence of Listeria species, while illumination with UV light reveals the presence of L. mono.
Benefits
- 50 swabs per box
- Requires incubator - Hygiena Lab format mini incubator
- Large 2.5-inch foam swab for maximum sample pickup
- Write-on swab label for easy sample identification
- Presumptive positive results are available for the most common Listeria spp in as little as 24 hours at levels as low as 1-10 CFU/mL
- Presumptive positive samples should be confirmed by an alternative method such as PCR, lateral flow, or traditional bacteriology methods. Any confirmatory results should be handled according to appropriate regulations.
- Compared to UVM and BLEB, provides superior/equivalent recovery and faster detection of as low as 10-50 heat-injured Listeria monocytogenes/mL within ~24-48 hours of incubation.
- 12-month shelf life at refrigerated temperatures (2 - 8_)
- *Free delivery only available to UK Mainland addresses
It doesn't take a microbiologist to understand these results. When Listeria species is present in a sample, the liquid media changes colour from amber to black. If pathogenic Listeria, like L. mono, is present, the media will glow green when UV light is shined on it.
Cut back on excessive labour and materials. This all-in-one test utilises a large foam sampler for maximum sample collection that eliminates the need for additional sponges, diluents, bags, and pipettes. The only equipment you'll need is an incubator.
