Chromogenic Media
Chromogenic culture media provide a rapid and accurate method of isolating and enumerating target micro-organisms based on the detection of specific enzyme activities.
Not only do chromogenic media enable faster detection of specific micro-organisms compared with classical culture media, they also improve sensitivity and can reduce the need for subculture or confirmatory tests.
Assays range of chromogenic media includes products for the isolation of Listeria species, Salmonellae, Escherichia coli and Enterobacter (formerly Cronobacter) sakazakii.
CSIM (ISO)
A chromogenic medium for the isolation of Cronobacter sakazakii from milk
Chromogenic Agar for Salmonella Esterase (CASE)
CASE is a selective chromogenic agar for the detection of Salmonella. It utilises a dual chromogenic system to differentiate between Salmonella and non-target organisms that grow on the agar.
E.coli/Coliform Medium
A dual chromogenic medium for the simultaneous enumeration of Escherichia coli and coliforms in food and environmental samples.
Listeria Chromogenic Agar
A selective medium for the isolation and presumptive identification of Listeria monocytogenes from foodstuffs and related materials.
mLGA
A selective chromogenic media for the simultaneous enumeration of Escherichia coli and coliforms.
Salmonella ABC Medium
A dual chromogen medium for the isolation of Salmonellae from food and clinical samples (including Salmonella typhi and paratyphi).
