HygieneChek™ PLUS Dip-Slides are easy to use, reliable and economic microbiological testing systems. A double-sided agar paddle detects and identifies various microorganisms commonly found in water, foods, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Microbiological samples can be taken directly from liquids and surfaces in the processing environment (including production lines), kitchens, cafeterias, supermarkets, cooling towers and clean rooms. HygieneChek™ Dip-Slides can also be used for air sampling. The only equipment required for the HygieneChek™ PLUS Dip-Slides is an incubator (a benchtop autoclave is optional). The test system consists of a container with a screw cap and a removable paddle. The surface of the paddle is covered on both sides with a nutrient agar medium.
Obtain samples from surfaces, liquids, personnel, swabs and the air (using our unique magnetic dip-slide holder)

* Positive results can be obtained after a shorter incubation time (e.g. 24 h), while proving the absence of the specified bacteria requires longer incubation (e.g 48 h). For colony counts at the upper detection limit, and when longer incubation would result in an uncountable bacterial lawn, reading out after a shorter incubation time is recommended.
