The Zika Virus (ZIKV) is an emerging mosquito-borne virus that was first identified in Uganda in 1947 in Rhesus monkeys through monitoring of sylvatic yellow fever. During large outbreaks in French Polynesia and Brazil, national health authorities reported potential neurological and auto-immune complications of ZIKV disease. Agencies investigating the Zika outbreaks are finding an increasing body of evidence about the link between ZIKV and microcephaly. Infection with ZIKV may be suspected based on symptoms and recent history (e.g. residence or travel to an area where ZIKV is known to be present). Zika virus diagnosis can only be confirmed by laboratory testing for the presence of ZIKV RNA in the blood or other body fluids, such as urine or saliva.

Storage Conditions
All kit components can be stored for 1 year after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.
All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 x) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.

Used for the selective isolation and culture of Listeria monocytogenes.
Columbia Blood Agar Base provide carbon and nitrogen sources, vitamins and growth factors，maintains balanced osmotic pressure; Listeria hydrolyzes aesculin and reacts with iron ions to form black 6,7-dihydroxycoumarin; lithium chloride and other antibiotics can inhibit Gram-negative bacteria and most Gram-positive bacteria; agar is the coagulant of the culture medium.

Weigh 55.5 g of this product, add 1000 mL of distilled water or deionized water, stir, heat and boil until completely dissolved, divide into Erlenmeyer bottles, sterilize at 121℃ for 15 min. Cool to about 50℃, add 1 bottle of SR0500 supporting reagent A and 1 bottle of B per 100 mL, mix well and set aside.
The following quality control strains were inoculated and cultured at 35-37℃ for 24h. The results are as follows:
| Quality control strains | Growth |
| Listeria monocytogenes ATCC19115 | Gray-green colonies with a black depression in the center and black surrounding |
| Enterococcus faecalis ATCC29212 | – |
| Escherichia coli ATCC25922 | – |
2-30℃，Keep container tightly closed, avoid direct sunlight.
Use before expiry date on the label.
1. When weighing the dehydrated medium, please wear masks to avoid causing respiratory system discomfort
2. Keep container tightly closed after using to prevent clumping.
Microbiological contamination was disposed by autoclaving at 121°C for 30 minutes.
