In case of N-Light™ Listeria spp. and N-Light™ Salmonella Risk tests, remove the MaxiSampler swab from the tube after rinsing. This is done by sticking the upper end of the disassembled handle into the upper end of the MaxiSampler swab inside the tube and then drawing the swab out. While doing this, leave as much enrichment broth as possible in the tube by sloughing off liquid from the swab at the tube wall. Discard handle and swab in a waste bin. Follow instructions for use of N-Light™ Listeria spp. and N-Light™ Salmonella Risk tests for further steps.
In case of N-Light™ Listeria monocytogenes and N-Light™ Escherichia coli, the swab part of the MaxiSampler is left in the test tube. Before starting incubation, don’t forget to press the cap of the N-Light™ test tubes down for locking the biosafety mechanism.
