Our Envirocheck® Dip Slides for semi-quantitative detection of microorganisms on surfaces and in liquids are flexible paddles that are coated with different nutrient media. After sampling and incubation the results of side A and side B allow any of five parameters to be determined, depending on the slide used. Envirocheck® Dip Slides are available for the following parameters:
- Disinfection control
- Total Colony Count
- Detection of yeasts and molds
- Detection of Enterobacteriaceae and
- Detection of total coliforms / E. coli.
Using the small and economically priced CULTURA® Mini Incubator (optional) for incubating the Envirocheck® Dip Slides creates a convenient and flexible working environment by reducing the necessary work space. The robust and easy to clean mini incubator allows various incubation temperatures and provides a tray with holes ready for the Envirocheck® Dip Slide Tubes.
Flexible: The dip slides are easy to use, with the flexible
paddle allowing sampling even in difficult to access areas.
Safe: Before and after sampling, the agar paddle is safely protected against contamination in the plastic tube.
Economical: Low-cost solution, because you can work independent of a lab when using the CULTURA® Mini Incubator.
Easy evaluation: After incubation the result can be read or checked against the provided comparison chart.
Envirocheck® Dip Slides are easy-to-use solutions for microbial surface or liquid testing. Unscrew the cap on the tube and remove the Envirocheck® Dip Slide from the tube, taking care not to touch the agar surfaces. Check for any dehydration or contamination before use.
Surface testing
With two fingers hold the terminal end of the paddle against the surface to be tested. Press down on the spike to bend the paddle, still holding the slide by the cap. With firm and even pressure press one of the two agar sides against the surface to be tested. Take care not to smear the agar over the test area. Repeat the procedure with the other side of the paddle on an area adjacent to the initial test site. Replace the slide back into the tube and close tightly.
Liquid testing
Dip the Envirocheck® Dip Slide into the test fluid for about 5–10 seconds so that both agar surfaces are totally covered. In case of insufficient liquid, pour over both surfaces of the slide. Tip slide on clean absorbent paper to drain off excess fluid. Replace the slide back into the tube and close tightly.
Incubation
Place the container in an upright position into an incubator, e.g. CULTURA® Mini Incubator 1.13311.0001 (230-V version) or 1.15533.0001 (110-V version) for 24–48 hours at 35–37 °C (for bacteria) or for 2–7 days at 27–30 °C (for yeasts and molds). Duration and temperature of incubation may be varied according to individual requirements.
Interpretation of results
The results of using Envirocheck® Dip Slides are semi-quantitative, indicating the
degree of contamination in the tested environment.
