توضیحات
MicrobceckTM C/E slides have a rich agar-based culture medium with a specific formulation on both sides of the slide. This type of kit is able to identify total coliform bacteria from water, food, and dairy samples. This kit is exclusive to coliforms and if coliforms are present in the sample, green-blue colonies will grow on the culture medium.
The area under investigation on each slide is 8 square centimeters.
Expiration date: The slides are good for 6 months after production.
This product should be stored away from direct sunlight and frost at temperatures between 4-8 degrees Celsius.
Test
Liquid sampling: After removing the slide from the sterile Falcon, immerse it into the liquid under investigation. Then remove the slide and gently shake it to remove any excess liquid from the slide surface. After that, return the slide back into the Falcon tube and close the lid tightly.
Surface Sampling: Remove the slide from its sterile Falcon and place it in direct contact with the surface under investigation. The contact between the two surfaces should be in a way that the agar medium of the slide is completely transferred onto the surface being examined to achieve maximum bacterial recovery.
Incubation: If a complete microbial count is required, heat the slide at 35-37°C for 16-24 hours.
Important note: Slides must be autoclaved or incinerated after use. This can also be immersed in a 10% bleach solution for 24 hours.
