Microbiological Media

Dimanco Bacticount slides are designed to monitor working surfaces and fluids for bacterial or fungal contamination. Sides of meat and similar surfaces can also be tested. Bacticount is a plastic slide coated on both sides with microbiological culture media and is contained in its own sterile tube. The slide is hinged for ease of use.

Also available is the Incubator for Bacticount. A robust design manufactured from an unbreakable acid-proof synthetic material. The Incubator holds a maximum of 20 slides and the temperature can be adjusted from ambient to 40°C. Incubators are supplied with the temperature pre-set at 35°C.

Compact Dry™ plates provide a convenient test method for counting micro-organisms. The plates are supplied sterile and ready-to-use, and the media are dehydrated allowing for a long shelf life at room temperature. The incorporation of chromogenic agents in the media ensures that the plates are easy to interpret, making them an ideal alternative to the conventional culture plate method.

The plates can be used to test raw materials and finished products such as food, beverages, meat and cosmetics. Compact Dry™ is ideal for laboratory use and is portable, facilitating on-site sampling.
