The SwabSURE ListeriaP is a direct test for the presumptive
detection of Pathogenic Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria
ivanovii from food contact and other environmental surfaces using a
simple turquoise colour change (chromogenic) technology. The chromogen does not
change colour with common non-pathogenic Listeria like Listeria innocua.
Includes Polystyrene shaft (breakpoint) with Pre-moistened
(with Neutralizing Buffer) Foam Tip Swab. Campden BRI validated.
ListeriaP also inhibits other background microorganisms such as:
Bacillus spp., Enterococcus spp., Micrococcus spp
and Gram negative organisms like Klebsiella spp and E.coli.
Features:
- Sensitive (<1cfu/cm2
) & specific
- Pre-moistened swab enhances sample
collection
- Swab neutralizes residual detergents
& sanitizing agents, whilst stabilizing
target microorganisms
- At a glance identification with precise
colour change
- Ideal solution to verify routine cleanliness
protecting brand
- Cost effective negative screen reducing
Laboratory pressure/costs
- ISO 18593:2018 compliant when used with a sampling template
Known Limitations:
Restricted use for the presumptive detection of pathogenic Listeria from food
contact and environmental surfaces. It is recommended that after sampling food
contact areas are wiped. For direct food contact the item must be
removed/discarded after use (so not sold). No other uses are authorized.
Shelf Life: 12 months
