Description

Oxoid™ Orange Serum Agar (500g) is a selective and differential medium used for the cultivation and differentiation of Listeria species, particularly Listeria monocytogenes, from food and environmental samples. The medium contains serum and an indicator, which produces a distinctive orange colour change in the presence of Listeria. This medium supports the growth of Listeria, allowing differentiation based on colony morphology and colour, making it a valuable tool for microbiological testing in food safety and clinical diagnostics.

Key Features:

  • Form: Dehydrated powder
  • Weight: 500g
  • Application: Isolation and differentiation of Listeria species, especially Listeria monocytogenes, from food and environmental samples
  • Composition: Contains serum and specific nutrients to support the growth of Listeria, with an indicator that changes colour in response to bacterial activity
  • Preparation: Suspend 40g of the dehydrated medium in 1 litre of distilled water, mix thoroughly, and autoclave at 121°C for 15 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 12.5 litres of prepared medium
  • Storage: Store the dehydrated medium at 10–30°C, protected from moisture and light
  • Compliance: Suitable for use in microbiological testing protocols for the detection and differentiation of Listeria monocytogenes
