توضیحات
MicrobCheckTM C/E slides have a chromogenic culture medium with a specific formulation on both sides of the slide. This type of kit is able to identify total coliform and E. coli bacteria from water, food, and dairy samples. This kit is specific and in the presence of coliform in the sample, colonies appear Magenta and in the presence of E. coli, colonies appear Blue-Green on the culture medium.
Kit specifications: The surface area examined on each slide is 8 square centimeters.
Expiration date: 6 months after production
Storage condotions: Maintain the slides at a temperature of 4-8 degrees Celsius, away from direct sunlight and prevent freezing.
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.
