About Our baird parker + violet red bile glucose (vrbg) (neutralisers) dipslides (box of 10)

Baird Parker Agar and VRBG Agar for Staphylococci and Enterobacteriaceae with neutralisers. This slide offers a Staphylococci count on one side and an Enterobactericeae count on the other side. The addition of neutralisers means that these dipslides are ideal for assessing the efficacy of cleaning regimes.

Neutralisers are added to agars to ‘neutralise’ the effect of disinfectants / germicides. The neutraliser aids in the recovery of surviving / viable organisms that have been damaged but not killed by cleaning chemicals. This is useful if you wish to test the efficacy of cleaning agents. The neutraliser will help you get a more accurate result without the efficacy of your cleaning regime being overestimated.

These dipslides come in a pack size of 10 slides per box. The slide has a flexible paddle and is located in a shatterproof container. 

Flexible paddle

Flexible Paddle

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

Easy run off design

Easy Run Off Design

Recessed Handle

Recessed Handle

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

Side Indicator

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 paddle

Dual Sided

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

Thick reliable Agar

Thick Reliable Agar

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

VRBG - Detects Enterobacteriaceae. Produces purple / pink colonies. A neutraliser has been added to this agar.

Baird Parker - This agar is selective for Staphylococci. Staphylococcus aureus shows good growth with black shiny colonies with white and clear zones. A neutraliser has been added to this agar.
