SwabSURE ListeriaP is an innovative colour-change Listeria testing product for environmental and food contact surfaces. The self-contained test permits differentiation of pathogenic Listeria monocytogenes and Listeiria ivanovii from other commensal microorganisms including Listeria innocua.

In tests, this highly sensitive and specific method reliably recovered pathogenic Listeria whilst excluding Bacillus spp., Enterococcus spp., Micrococcus spp., Klebsiella spp. and other spoilage organisms by using a combination of antibiotics and inhibitory compounds.

ListeriaP eliminates false positives - a common failure with other traditional methods.

• ISO 18593:200 compliant system externally validated by Campden BRI
• Foam swab open matrix enhances recovery and release of sample ensuring accurate results
