Chameleon™ COLOREX™ Cronobacter
Chameleon™ COLOREX™ Cronobacter prepared culture media plates by S²Media are manufactured using original CHROMagar™ raw materials. This selective chromogenic Cronobacter Isolation (CCI) agar is intended for the detection and isolation of Cronobacter spp. in food, animal feed, and environmental samples. Manufactured in accordance with ISO 22964 requirements, the medium provides characteristic chromogenic differentiation to facilitate presumptive identification of Cronobacter spp. from competing flora. Cronobacter supports food safety testing, environmental monitoring, and microbiological quality control, particularly for products and production environments where Cronobacter contamination presents a significant food safety concern.
👉 Key Performance Features:
ISO 22964 Compliant: Chromogenic Cronobacter Isolation (CCI) agar manufactured in accordance with ISO 22964 requirements for the detection of Cronobacter spp.
Distinct Chromogenic Differentiation: Cronobacter spp. produce characteristic green to blue colonies, facilitating rapid presumptive identification.
High Selectivity: Selective formulation suppresses most competing bacteria, while non-target organisms that grow typically produce colorless colonies.
Rapid Detection: Characteristic colonies can be interpreted following 24 hours of incubation at 41.5°C.
Food & Environmental Testing: Designed for detection of Cronobacter spp. in food, animal feed, and environmental samples.
Simplified Plate Interpretation: Strong chromogenic contrast between presumptive Cronobacter and background flora facilitates colony selection for subsequent confirmation.
