InTray™ Colorex™ Listeria and InTray™ Colorex™ Identification Listeria are microbiology sample collection, transport and culture devices, traditionally used in tandem, for the isolation, chromogenic differentiation and confirmation of Listeria monocytogenes presence.The InTray™ Colorex™ Listeria provides initial differentiation and presumptive identification of Listeria species while the InTray™ Colorex™ Identification Listeria provides confirmation of suspect Listeria monocytogenes colonies plated from the InTray™ Colorex™ Listeria. Together, they make preliminary detection and confirmation easy by producing distinct chromogenic differences between growing organisms with as little as 18-24 hours. Both devices a inhibit the growth of mold, fungi and other bacteria, including E. coli and E. faecalis.
