About Our kaa + plate count dipslide (box of 10)

The KAAP dipslide features two different agars (culture medium). KAA agar measures enterococci levels and plate count agar measures a total viable count (particularly for dairy products).

If your sample contains microbiological contaminants, colonies will grow on the dipslide agars. You can then count the colonies and compare with the chart provided to assess the level of contamination.

The dipslides come in a box of 10 with each dipslide housed within a shatterproof plastic tube.

Industry sectors include

  • Food
  • Dairy Products
  • Clinical specimens

A comparison chart is included so you can easily compare your results.
