IBISA® Chromogenic Media
Highly selective media for motile and non-motile Salmonella spp. detection from food and environmental samples, and for confirmation of VIDAS® UP Salmonella SPT.
AOAC-OMA approved for confirmation of VIDAS SPT positive assays
- IBISA principle is based on a mix of chromogenic substrates that produces a high level of differentiation between Salmonella and other Enterobacteriaceae.
Labor time-saving method
- Easy to differentiate: green Salmonella colonies on a unique yellow agar
- Background flora is inhibited and reduces the need for subcultures
- Provides easy reading and reduces training needs
Reliable results
- Results within 24 hours at 37˚C incubation

AOAC-OMA approved for confirmation of VIDAS Easy SLM positive assays
Labor and time-saving method
- Easy to differentiate with pink-to-mauve colonies for Salmonella on an opaque white agar
- 3 chromogenic substrates optimize the selective isolation and differentiation of Salmonella
- Reduces the need for subcultures
Reliable results
- Results within 18 to 24 hours at 35-37˚C
- Highly selective media ensures inhibition of contaminating food flora
- High sensitivity minimizes false-negative results
