InSite Listeria is an easy-to-use, self contained, environmental Listeria species test.

Simply swab the test area and incubate, a change in colour after 24-48 hours of incubation is considered presumptive positive.

InSite Listeria provides quick results eliminating the lengthy wait time and expensive price of an outside lab.

It doesn't take a microbiologist to understand these results as if Listeria species are present in a sample, the liquid media changes colour from amber to black.

Each device contains a chromogenic liquid media formulated with antibiotics, growth enhancers, and colour changing compounds specific to Listeria species.

• Delivers results in 24-48 hours
• Cost-effective test
• Self-contained reagent- no transfers minimizing the chance of contamination
• Colour-changing device is easy to interpret
• Only equipment required is a 37°C ± 1° incubator - reduces materials and labour

Shelf life: (From Manufacture Date)

• 12 months at refrigerated temperatures (2-8ºC) (typically delivered with 9-10 months shelf life)
