توضیحات
MicrobCheckTM Salmonella slides have a chromogenic culture media with a proprietary formulation on both sides of the slide. This type of kit is capable of identifying Salmonella species bacteria from water, food, and dairy samples. This kit is selective and in case of the presence of Salmonella in sample, Salmonella colonies appear purple (from light to dark). Coliforms appear in blue colonies, while other bacteria either cannot grow in this medium or form colorless colonies to a limited extent.
Kit specifications: The surface under investigation on each slide is 8 square centimeters.
Expiration date: 6 months after production
Storage conditions: Storage of the MicrobCheck Pseudomonas slides should be at a temperature of 4-8 degrees Celsius and away from direct sunlight to prevent frosting of the slides.
Test
Liquid sampling: After removing the slide from the sterile Falcon, immerse it into the liquid under investigation and wait for 10 seconds. 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.
