CHROMagar™ Listeria, 5000mL
CHROMagar™ Listeria is a selective chromogenic culture medium for the detection, isolation, differentiation, and enumeration of Listeria monocytogenes in food and environmental samples. The medium enables rapid presumptive identification to support food safety testing, environmental monitoring, and quality control programs throughout the food production process.
👉 Key Performance Features:
Rapid Detection Workflow: Supports a streamlined three-step workflow consisting of selective enrichment, chromogenic isolation, and species confirmation for rapid detection of Listeria monocytogenes.
Direct Chromogenic Differentiation: Differentiates L. monocytogenes from other Listeria spp. during the primary isolation step through detection of phospholipase activity.
Distinct Colony Morphology: L. monocytogenes produces blue colonies surrounded by a white halo, enabling rapid, high-contrast presumptive identification and simplifying plate interpretation.
Improved Laboratory Efficiency: Reduces reliance on conventional differential media and minimizes the need for additional confirmatory testing during isolate selection.
🧪The 5000mL kit (LM852) contains:
LM852(B) - Listeria Base
LM852(S) - Listeria Supplement
