BACTASLYDE are supplied in boxes of 5 along with the complete instructions set & a density chart to have a complete quantitative analysis of bacteria in Sri Lanka.

WHAT IS BACTASLYDE – DIPSLIDE?
BACTASLYDE is a presterilized slide, coated with specially developed media, for the growth of a variety of bacteria, yeasts & fungi. Its dual media enables you to perform different tests, at a time & can be used virtually in any industry. BACTASLYDE has been found to be reliable and compares well with conventional microbiological techniques. Such slides are in regular usage in Sri Lanka for monitoring microbiological contamination.

WHY BACTASLYDE – DIPSLIDE?
Avoid breakdowns
Optimise usage of water treatment chemicals
Improve efficiency
Prolong equipment life
Provide healthier working environment
Reduce corrosion

WHEN COMPARED TO TRADITIONAL METHOD?
BACTASLYDE METHOD

HOW TO USE – DIPSLIDE?
Step 1:- DIP (Dip for 20-25 seconds. Use a clean container to hold the test material)

Step 2:- Incubate (At room temperature (18-32°c) No need of an Incubator)

Step 3:- Read (Match with Density Chart)

In Sri Lanka, we have a wide range of testing devices developed for the identification of various bacteria in any industry.

E.Coli + TBC Test Kit

Description

Escherichia coli (E.coli) are the commensal of the mammalian intestine bacteria and normally live in the intestines of people and animals. E.coli is also called faecal coli and cause infection in human and animal like diarrhea severe abdominal cramps bloody diarrhea and vomiting. You may be exposed to E.coli from contaminated water or food especially raw vegetables and undercooked ground beef. Presence of E.coli in any material or system or process suggests a low standard of hygiene and sewage contamination. Therefore all drinking water standards both National and International are in terms of E. coli. Viz. ( 0 E.coli in 100 ml of water.) Only E. coli colonies will grow on BACTASLYDE and colonies would be of yellow colour. Since E. coli is the indicator of faecal contamination even a 10 count is alarming as all national and international standards for E.coli are Zero . The Total Bacterial Count gives a quantitative idea about the presence of microorganisms such as bacteria yeast and mold in a sample. It is also known as Total Viable Count (TVC) Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC) Heterotrophic Colony Count (HCC) Aerobic Plate Count (APC) Total Plate Count (TPC) or Standard Plate Count (SPC) and it represents the total bacterial load in a given sample. All our range of dip slides enables you to perform the Total Bacterial Count on one side of the slide to reflect the general hygiene condition of a sample.

Pseudomonas + TBC Test Kit

Description

Pseudomonas commonly found in soil or water and is generally in slime form with a consistency range from that of molasses to rubber. It is extremely versatile as it thrives not only in normal atmospheres but also in hypoxic atmospheres and acquires immunity very rapidly to antibiotics. These species are sturdy organisms able to live at very low oxygen tension and difficult to kill. They obtain their energy for living and multiplying either by oxidizing organic compounds or by fermentation. They are more or less free swimming in cooling water and thrive by oxidizing organic substrates to carbon dioxide. It also serves as a biding agent for accumulation of dirt or other organisms and if unchecked can form insulating sticky films on surface where it initiates under deposit corrosion. Pseudomonas is a highly relevant opportunistic human pathogen and has been incriminated in hospital acquired infections in water supplies soaps ice and even disinfectants. Only Pseudomonas species will grow on BACTASLYDE and the colonies would be white off-white red or green. The Total Bacterial Count gives a quantitative idea about the presence of microorganisms such as bacteria yeast and mold in a sample. It is also known as Total Viable Count (TVC) Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC) Heterotrophic Colony Count (HCC) Aerobic Plate Count (APC) Total Plate Count (TPC) or Standard Plate Count (SPC) and it represents the total bacterial load in a given sample.

Yeast & Fungi + TBC Test Kit

Description

Yeast are unicellular fungi which are used to make bread and other wheat-based products such as dough and dumplings. Also they are useful in production of alcoholic beverages through fermentation. Almost all species of yeasts and fungi grow on BACTASLYDE and there growth may consist either purely of yeasts or purely of fungi or may be mixed. Fungi are aerobic and commonly occur in nature especially in places which are damp where organic matter and oxygen are present. They produce vast numbers of spores and grow continuously without regards to size and shape. Several fungi are domesticated species that are bred or selected according to their capacity to ferment food without producing harmful toxins. The Total Bacterial Count gives a quantitative idea about the presence of microorganisms such as bacteria yeast and mold in a sample. It is also known as Total Viable Count (TVC) Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC) Heterotrophic Colony Count (HCC) Aerobic Plate Count (APC) Total Plate Count (TPC) or Standard Plate Count (SPC) and it represents the total bacterial load in a given sample.
