VRBG Agar on both sides. This slide offers a Enterobacteriaceae count.
It comes in a pack size of 10 slides per box. The slide has a flexible paddle and is located in a shatterproof container.
Flexible Paddle
Each dipslide features a virtually unbreakable and flexible paddle allowing for even, full surface testing.
Easy Run Off Design
Due to the design of the dipslide, fluids will drain off quickly during testing.
Recessed Handle
Each slide has a handle built into the lid that is recessed to help keep your fingers dry during testing.
Side Indicator
One side of the slide will have a circle indicator so you know which side was used for testing which type of contaminant.
Dual Sided

Step 2 : If liquid testing
For liquid testing, immerse the VRBG Agar dipslide into the fluid for 10 seconds then remove and allow to drain for a few seconds.
Step 2 : If swab testing
Apply a sample of the test substance to a sterile swab and gently apply to the agars.
Step 3 : Incubate Slide
Label the tube with the included stickers then place the slide into an incubator and allow to incubate.
Step 4 : Compare results
Count the amount of colonies that have grown on the slide and compare them to the comparison chart provided.
