About Our kaa & violet red bile glucose (vrbg) dipslide (box of 10)

This dipslide tests for enterococci on one side and enterobacteriaceae on the other side.

The KAA agar is selective for the isolation of enterococci in food. The VRBG agar detects enterobacteriaceae in food and environmental samples.

Enterococci will present as white or grey colonies with black areas surrounding them.

Enterobacteriaceae will present as pink / purple colonies.

Any colonies present indicate infection / contamination of some sort.

Industry sectors include

Food
Animal Feed
Environmental

Please note that dipslides should not come into contact with the body and that samples should be taken via swab or cup / tube before streaking on to the slide.

How to use the KAA & Violet Red Bile Glucose (VRBG) dipslides

Remove Kanamycin Aesculin Azide (KAA) & Violet Red Bile Glucose (VRBG) slide from tube

For surface testing, press the KAA & Violet Red Bile Glucose (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.

Step 2 : If liquid testing

For liquid testing, immerse the KAA & Violet Red Bile Glucose (VRBG) 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 sample 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.
