InSite L.mono Glo is an easy-to-use, self-contained, environmental sampling and screening test for Listeria species and L. monocytogenes. Each device contains a chromogenic liquid media formulated with antibiotic growth enhancers, colour changing compound specific to Listeria and fluorescent compounds specific to L. monocytogenes. The two-step test changes colour in the presence of Listeria species, while illumination with UV lights reveals the presence of L. monocytogenes.
Key Benefits
- – All-in-one sampling and detection for ease of use
- – Large foam swab for maximum sample pickup

- – Presumptive positive results in as little as 24 hours
- – Sensitive results
- – UV fluorescence indicates pathogenic Listeria
- – AOAC-RI Performance Tested Method #061802
Sensitivity:
- – Detects down to <10 CFU Listeria spp.
- – Sensitive to <10 CFU L. mono
- – Internally Validated agains ISO methodfor 100% inclusivity / 95% exclusivity
- – AOAC-RI Performance Tested Method (SM) validation
When Listeria species are present in a sample, the liquid media changes colour from amber to black. If pathogenic Listeria, like L.mono are present, the media will glow green when UV light is shined on it.
