Listeria Detecting Plate Count Plate

1. Product Overview

FSTest  Listeria Detecting Plate is is a pre-prepared disposable culture system that contains nutrients, water-soluble gelling agent, and indicator.  The design facilitates colony growth and displays results in green on the plate;  thus providing shortened incubation time in as little as 18 hrs and enhanced visual interpretation.

2. Key Benefits

• Fast Time-to-Result: Delivers definitive colony counts in just 18–24 hours, saving up to 24–48 hours compared to traditional culture and MPN methods.

• Ready-to-Use & Zero Media Prep: No glass Petri dishes, autoclaving, or agar preparation required—simply inoculate, incubate, and read.

• High Sensitivity & Accuracy: Detection limit as low as 1–10 CFU/mL (g), ensuring compliance with strict international food hygiene standards.

• Unambiguous Visual Reading: Highly specific chromogenic reaction produces vivid blue colonies, drastically reducing manual counting errors and false results.

• Space & Cost Efficiency: Ultra-thin paper-film format takes up minimal storage and incubator space, while significantly reducing biohazard disposal waste and shipping costs.

• Flexible Transport & Long Shelf Life: Stable at ambient temperatures (up to 15 days of room temperature shipping without cold chain reliance) with a 12-month shelf life under standard refrigeration.
