Description:

Listeriosis is a serious infection usually caused by eating food contaminated with the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. An estimated 1,600 people get listeriosis each year, and about 260 die. The infection is most likely to sicken pregnant women and their newborns, adults aged 65 or older, and people with weakened immune systems. Each FSTest Listeria Count Plate is a pre-prepared disposable culture system that contains nutrients , water-soluble gelling agent, and indicator—— all the components needed for microbial growth with no agar preparation required. The FSTest Listeria Count Plate provides total Listeria count in as little as 36 hours. enhanced visualized interpretation with colonies colored green on the test plate.

Application

Bakery, beverage, bottled water, confectionary, dairy, eggs, fruits, vegetables, meat, nutraceuticals, pet food, animal feed, poultry, prepared & processed food, and seafood, etc.

Industries:

Food manufacturers and processors, food safety testing, environmental monitoring, centers for disease control and prevention (CDC), market supervision and government inspection labs, etc.

Testing steps:

1)Inoculate: uncover the top film of the plate, pipette 1ml of sample and drip it onto the center of the plate vertically.

2)Incubate: put the plates (film upwards, piled less than 12 pieces) into the incubator (36±1℃) and incubate for 36-48hrs.

3)Interpret: count the bule-green colonies, and the fast, precise, and consistent results can be obtained with the help of a built-in grid.

Faster analysis time:1. Aerobic (18-24 hours) 2. Coliform (15-24 hours) 3. Yeast & Mold (48-72 hours) 4. Coliform & E.coli (15-24 hours) 5. E. coli & Thermostable Coliform (15-24 hours) 6. Salmonella (15-24 hours) 7. Staphylococcus aureus (15-24 hours) 8. Enterobacteriaceae (15-24 hours) 9. Listeria (18-24 hours) 10. Bacillus cereus (15-24 hours) .......

Compared to agar petri dish:

1.Less space(Reduce by 90%) 2.Less lab costs(Reduce by 65%) 3.Cost-effective(Increase by 80%) 4.Less testing time(Reduce by 50%)
