Product Description
When it comes to detecting Listeria species in food, environmental, or clinical samples, accuracy is non-negotiable. The Listeria Identification Broth Base (PALCAM) from Himedia is a trusted granulated medium designed to selectively enrich and isolate Listeria, ensuring reliable results for microbiologists and researchers.
This broth base is formulated with a combination of selective agents like lithium chloride, polymyxin B, and acriflavine, which inhibit the growth of competing microorganisms while allowing Listeria to thrive. Whether you’re working in a food safety lab, a research facility, or an educational institution, this medium simplifies the detection process with consistent performance.
One of the key advantages of this granulated form is its ease of preparation. Simply dissolve the required quantity in distilled water, sterilize, and it’s ready for use. No more messy powder handling or inconsistent results. The 500 gm pack size ensures you have enough medium for multiple tests without frequent reordering.
For students and educators, this broth serves as an excellent tool for teaching microbiological techniques, particularly in food safety and pathogen detection modules. Its reliability makes it a staple in labs where precision matters.

FAQs
What is the shelf life of Listeria Identification Broth Base?
The granulated broth has a shelf life of 3 years from the date of manufacture when stored under recommended conditions. Always check the expiry date on the pack before use.
Can this broth be used for direct inoculation without pre-enrichment?
While it’s possible, pre-enrichment in a non-selective medium like Buffered Peptone Water is recommended for samples with low Listeria counts to improve detection sensitivity.
Is this broth suitable for detecting all Listeria species?
Yes, it supports the growth of Listeria monocytogenes, L. ivanovii, and other species. However, confirmatory tests are advised for species-level identification.
How should I dispose of used broth?
Used broth should be autoclaved before disposal to kill any remaining microorganisms. Follow your lab’s biohazard waste disposal protocols.
Can I buy Listeria Identification Broth Base in smaller quantities?
This product is available in a 500 gm pack. For smaller quantities, check with eqipped’s customer support for custom packaging options.
