Lab M’s range of microbiological culture media for the enrichment and isolation of Listeria species from food samples covers the requirements of FDA, ISO 11290 and USDA methods. Key products, including Buffered Listeria Enrichment Broth^PLUS, are available in a complete blend format, omitting the need for additional supplementation. 

Customers following FDA methods can choose from Buffered Listeria Enrichment Broth^PLUS or Listeria Enrichment Broth^PLUS, both of which are designed for the selective enrichment of food and environmental samples for Listeria spp.

For the detection and enumeration of Listeria monocytogenes the recently introduced Fraser Broth^PLUS and Half Fraser Broth^PLUS give improved results over traditional formulations and meet all the specifications of the ISO 11290 standard.

Completing the Listeria portfolio are primary isolation media such as Harlequin™ Listeria Chromogenic Agar (ALOA Formulation also FDA recommended), and secondary isolation media including PALCAM Agar, Listeria Isolation Medium (Oxford) and LMBA.
