This medium conforms to the ALOA (agar Listeria acc. to Ottaviani and Agosti) medium, a selective medium for the isolation of Listeria monocytogenes in food (AFNOR-validated method). It also enables the testing, sampling and enumeration of Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria spp. in foodstuffs and other source materials. The rich base of the Chromocult® Listeria selective agar encourages excellent growth. The supplement of inhibitors stops most of the bacteria, yeast and fungi from growing. In contrast, Listeria is uninhibited in its growth, producing blue-green colonies; L. monocytogenes also form an opaque halo.

Microbiological laboratories need a simple procedure to maintain important microorganisms rather than repetitive sub-culturing, which results in contaminated cultures, loss of viability and, even more importantly, loss of original characteristics by introducing biochemical and genetic changes. Cryoinstant consists of 25 porous beads in a vial filled with a broth containing glycerol. Microorganisms will bind to the porous surface of the beads. The excess broth is aspirated, and the vials stored at temperatures down to –70 °C in a freezer.

Chromogenic media offer a method for rapid identification of characteristic bacterial enzymes. Merck offers a wide range of solid and liquid culture media that also permits the fluorescence detection of E. coli under the trade name Fluorocult®. Fluorocult® culture media have the same components as the standard media and additionally the substrate MUG. Some of the media also contain tryptophan as the substrate for a possible indole reaction to further confirm E. coli presence. The Fluorocult® method can produce a positive result within just 24 to 48 hours. In the case of the chromogenic media, a direct identification, using the characteristic colony colouring on the culture medium itself is possible without the application of further additives. A differentiation of positive single colonies is possible, even when high microbial counts are present.

For aviation fuel used in civilian air transport. Aviation fuel contains small quantities of water, so it is vulnerable to microbiological attack. Microbiological contamination in fuel can lead to operational problems, e.g. clogged filters or corroded tanks. This test is an alternative for anyone who monitors or deals with aviation fuel. Previously, test results were only available after three days. With the HY-LiTE® test, results are returned in just 10 minutes. This test is recommended in the IATA (International Air Transport Association) Directive.
