Liofilchem Food System, identification of pathogenic microorganisms from foodstuff

The Liofilchem® FOOD SYSTEM (ref. 71680) is a 12 wells panel containing biochemical substrata for the detection and presumptive identification of pathogenic microorganisms from foodstuff in just 18-24 hours.

The FOOD SYSTEM is conveniently configured to test two samples in the same panel.

The FOOD SYSTEM delivers the simultaneous detection and presumptive identification of:

• Salmonella spp.
• Proteus /Providencia spp.
• Pseudomonas spp.
• Staphylococcus aureus
• Escherichia coli
• Bacillus cereus
• Listeria spp.
• yeasts and moulds

The system is inoculated with a suspension of food sample and incubated at 36 °C for 18-24 hours.

The tests for detection and presumptive identification of the microorganisms present in the sample are interpreted by evaluating the color change in the wells.
 

Biochemical, immunoserological and microscopic confirmation tests following screening can be performed by taking a drop of culture broth from the well of the microorganism to be confirmed.
 

Just like all the Liofilchem® microbiological identification systems, the FOOD SYSTEM has the great benefits of:

• performing simultaneous microbiological screening of several microorganisms in one compact panel,
• reducing costs in labor and laboratory consumables,
• requiring no complex lab instruments because of its extraordinary ease of use.
