About Our Linen / laundry dipslides - Total Count Bacteria (Box of 10)
Our general health 'Total Count' laundry dipslides will give you an idea of the amount of aerobic microbes that may be present in your sample. Nutrient agar will detect / show growth for a wide range of micro-organisms. The microbiological colonies that grow on this dipslide appear as red spots making them easy to count and evaluate the level of contamination. These dipslides can be used to test linen / laundry, equipment, surfaces or water.
You can also add sterile swabs to your purchase. This is for if you wish to swab dry linen samples. When testing dry samples, you can moisten a swab with sterile water, swab the sample and then transfer the sample onto the dipslide using the swab.
Alternatively, you may wish to use the dipslide directly on the sample linen. To do this, you would press the dipslide flat onto the linen sample before incubating.
The method you choose may depend on local / company regulations / standards.
