About Our malt extract + malt extract dipslides (box of 10)

The YF Dipslide features Malt Extract (culture medium) agar on both sides. It is a general purpose agar that reduces bacterial growth and isolates a yeast and mould count.

If your sample contains yeast or moulds, colonies will grow on the dipslide agar. You can then compare with the included chart to assess the level of fungal contamination.

Each box contains 10 dipslides with each dipslide housed within a shatterproof plastic tube.

Industry sectors include

  • Paint
  • Packaging
  • Industrial fluids
  • Clinical
