Listeria Swab is designed to minimize the risk of contamination of work areas or finished products by Listeria spp. in particular L. monocytogenes. It is a simple diagnostic test that can be applied in the environment and on foodstuff where presence of Listeria spp. would be critical.
The test is based upon an enhanced Esculin medium formation. The hydrolysis of Esculin by Listeria spp. results in the formation of a distinctive black colored precipitate.
The tip of the swab used in this test is composed of Calcium Alginate. This formulation allows the tip to dissolve completely when immersed in the medium, ensuring that all organisms collected during sampling will come into direct contact with the medium.
