InSite™ Listeria - Environmental Listeria Species Test
- Delivers results in 24-48 hours
- Cost-effective Test
- Color-changing device is easy to interpret
Hygiena InSite™ Listeria - Environmental Listeria Species Test for Application-Based Model Selection
Best for routine testing, inspection, and quality-control workflows, where the right choice often depends on differences in configuration, range, portability, and application fit.
A chromogenic liquid medium containing antibiotics, growth promoters, and color-changing substances unique to Listeria species is included in every device. Just wait after swabbing the test area. After 24 to 48 hours of incubation, a color shift is regarded as presumptive positive. It is not necessary to purchase costly laboratory equipment or perform extra sample handling.
Test in-house, save valuable time
InSite Listeria provides fast on-site screening results in as little as 24 to 48 hours, which is a great addition to your lab testing. Get rid of the long wait times for results from outside labs and prevent contamination.
Easy-to-interpret color results
To understand these findings, one does not need to be a microbiologist. In the presence of Listeria species, the liquid media turns from amber to black.
No more unnecessary work
Reduce the amount of materials and labor. There is no need for extra sponges, diluents, bags, or pipettes because this all-in-one test uses a large foam sampler for maximum sample collection. An incubator is the only piece of equipment you will require.
Benefits:
- Delivers results in 24-48 hours
- Cost-effective test
- Self-contained reagent- no transfers minimizing the chance of contamination
- Color-changing device is easy to interpret
- Only equipment required is a 37°C ± 1° incubator - reduces materials and labor

Product Q&A
What is the Hygiena InSite Listeria Test used for?
It is designed for rapid, on-site detection of environmental Listeria species in food production, processing, and laboratory settings without the need for specialized laboratory equipment.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are available within 24 to 48 hours after incubation at 37°C ±1°C.
Do I need any extra equipment to perform the test?
No. The test is self-contained, and the only equipment required is an incubator. All sampling and reagents are included in the kit.
Is it difficult to interpret the results?
No. The color change is easy to read: the liquid media turns from amber to black if Listeria species are present.
How does the InSite Listeria test reduce labor and materials?
The test uses a large foam sampler and eliminates the need for extra sponges, diluents, bags, or pipettes, reducing both labor and materials.
- Snap-Valve™ technology - snap & squeeze
- Large 2.5-inch foam swab for maximum sample pickup
- Write-on swab label for easy sample identification
- Presumptive positive results are available for the most common Listeria spp in as little as 30 hours at levels as low as 1-10 CFU/mL
- Presumptive positive samples should be confirmed by streaking sample onto commonly used selective Listeria agar plates such as Modified Oxford agar, Palcam agar, or any other recognized confirmatory procedure. Typical Listeria colonies on selective agar plates could then be further analyzed by more definitive tests such as microscopy, biochemical tests, etc.
- Compared to UVM and BLEB, provides superior/equivalent recovery and faster detection of as low as 10-50 heat injured Listeria monocytogenes/mL within ~24-30 hours of incubation.
- Provides higher level of selectivity and sensitivity for heat injured L. monocytogenes under binary competition conditions compared to BLEB and UVM media
- 12 month shelf life at refrigerated temperatures (2 - 8 °C)
