CompactDry LM - Listeria monocytogenes

CompactDry LM is a ready-to-use, chromogenic plate for enumeration and detection of Listeria monocytogenes in food and drinks. Detection of Listeria monocytogenes occurs through the combination of selective agents and chromogenic substrates. Listeria monocytogenes form red colonies with a blue halo.

CompactDry LM offers a rapid test for Listeria monocytogenes identification and enumeration. It has been certified through MicroVal according to ISO 11290:2017, part 1 and 2, and is widely used in the food & beverage industry.

Listeria monocytogenes is a pathogen found in many environments such as soil, water, decaying vegetation and animals. It is a facultative anaerobe which can survive refrigeration and other types of preservation used in the foods and drinks industries.

Ingestion of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection notably in vulnerable populations such as pregnant women, the elderly and immunocompromised individuals.

L. monocytogenes can be transferred into the food chain when food is harvested / stored and can remain as a contaminant throughout the food production process. This requires continuous monitoring of raw materials, processed product, and the food production environment.
