Baird Parker + Violet Red Bile Glucose (VRBG) Dipslides (Box of 10)

Each dipslide features a virtually unbreakable and flexible paddle allowing for even, full surface testing.

Due to the design of the dipslide, fluids will drain off quickly during testing.

Each slide has a handle built into the lid that is recessed to help keep your fingers dry during testing.

One side of the slide will have a circle indicator so you know which side was used for testing which type of contaminant.

Each dipslide is dual sided to allow multiple contamination testing with one test.

Each agar is thick (approx 4mm) and raised above the dipslide to allow for easy surface testing.

Carefully remove the sterile Baird Parker / VRBG dip slide from its tube ensuring that no contact is made with the agar (to avoid contamination).

For surface testing, press the Baird Parker / VRBG dipslide onto the surface. If needed, place a finger on the bottom of the slide (on the plastic, not the agar) to apply extra pressure.

For liquid testing, immerse the Baird Parker / VRBG dipslide into the fluid for 10 seconds then remove and allow to drain for a few seconds.

Apply a sample of the test substance to a sterile swab and gently apply to the agars.

Label the tube with the included stickers then place the slide into an incubator and allow to incubate.

Count the amount of colonies that have grown on the slide and compare them to the comparison chart provided.
