Hygiena, a global leader in rapid microbial detection, monitoring, and identification technology, introduced the InSite L. mono Glo Environmental Surface Screening Test. InSite L. mono Glo Environmental Surface Screening Test. InSite L. monoGlo is an easy-to-use, self-contained, environmental sampling and screening test for Listeria species and Listeria monocytogenes (L. mono).
Each device contains liquid media containing antibiotics, growth enhancers, and colour-changing compounds specific to Listeria plus fluorescent compounds specific to Listeria monocytogenes. Within 48 hours, the two-step test changes colour in the presence of Listeria species, while illumination with UV light reveals L. monocytogenes if present. The test is used for environmental monitoring in food processing facilities after cleaning. Screening out negative samples quickly and easily provides a cost-effective way to increase surveillance, monitor hazards and control risks. See the instructional video on how to use the product here.
