Description

SCT DipslidesOur SCT dipslides are specifically designed for use in the food industry. They test for coliform bacteria, including most of the significant causative bacteria of food poisoning and use MacConkey agar No. 3 as a coliform specific medium that suppresses all non coliform bacteria. Coliform bacteria are the most significant causative bacteria for food poisoning. The second side uses plate count agar to give a general count of viable aerobic bacteria.

Our SCT dipslides are specifically designed for use in the food industry. They test for coliform bacteria, including most of the significant causative bacteria of food poisoning and use MacConkey agar No.3 as a coliform specific medium that suppresses all non-coliform bacteria.

Coliform bacteria are the most significant causative bacteria for food poisoning.

The second side uses plate count agar to give a general count of viable aerobic bacteria. This includes additional TTC in the plate count medium, allowing colonies to show up as red spots for easy counting.

Features:

  • Pack of 10 
  • Dual-sided dipslides 
  • Easy to use 
  • Colonies show up as red spots for easy reading

Important Note

All dipslides require a period of time in a specialist incubator. You can view our dipslide incubator range here.

Please see the Datasheet section below for details of the incubation period required for these BTM2 dipslides.

Additional information

Inside each 10 pack dipslide box you will find a helpful leaflet. The leaflet includes:

  • Product care and storage instructions
  • Guidance on interpreting the results
  • A visual guide (comparison chart) to help you interpret the results
  • Instructions on how to safely dispose of your dipslides once used

10 x adhesive labels are also included to help you keep track of each sample point (sample/date/time/ref/source)

Weight: (10 PK) 0.3 kg

Storage: Store in a cool and dry place (optimum 8-15 degrees C). Use before the expiry date on the box. Do not use slides if there is any sign of growth before opening. 

Please note a small amount of water may collect in the bottom of the tube, this is condensate from the agar and does not affect the performance of the dipslide agar.

How to use our Dipslides

Using our dip slides is easy! No prior training or experience is required to be able to use the dipslides and read the results effectively. Each dip slide has an easy-grip handle and a flexible paddle for ease of use and for surface testing

Testing Fluids

Remove the dip slide from its tube, and without touching the agar gel, immerse the gel part of the slide in the fluid to be tested for about 10 seconds, or hold the slide under running liquid, or spray so that both sides are covered. Allow excess fluid to drain for a few seconds.
Replace in its tube, seal firmly, label as required and incubate.

Testing Surfaces

Remove the dip slide from its transparent container. Do not touch the culture agar gel. Holding the slide by the tab (and the bottom of the slide if required), press one side of the agar against the surface under test, the ribbed neck above the agar will bend to allow full contact.
Repeat with the second side on an area close to the first site. Put the slide back into the tube, seal firmly, label as required and incubate.

Interpretation

After 48 hrs in the incubator, compare the dipslide to the chart provided in the box, reading the result from the closest matching image.
Fluid results are counted in “colony forming units” (CFU) per millilitre.
Surface results are in CXFU per square centimetre.
Bacteria and yeast are both compared to the top chart. Fungi (furry colonies) are compared to the lower chart in the leaflet.
Very high contamination levels may lead to a complete overgrowth on the slide. If this is the case, comparing the slide to an unused example will show the difference

Disposal

Used slides should be incinerated, autoclaved or soaked in disinfectant for several hours before disposal.

Saved my skin during the winter
Such a great multi-purpose product!! I’ll use under my eyes if my skin is dry, or if I’m using an active that I know will dry my skin. I also would slather it on during the winter if I was walking or running outside and I knew it would be windy. It really helped against windburn.

Lightweight SPF that layers well under makeup
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen feels much lighter than many high-SPF formulas I’ve tried and blends into the skin without leaving a heavy white cast. The texture spreads easily and gives a hydrated finish without feeling greasy, which makes it comfortable for everyday wear on both the face and body. I also liked that it layered well under makeup without pilling. I used this during long outdoor days and it held up well while still feeling comfortable on the skin. The SPF 60 protection is reassuring, especially for travel, beach days, festivals, or daily sun exposure. Overall, this is a reliable sunscreen option if you want strong protection with a more wearable, skincare-like texture.

A Must-Have for Sensitive Skin
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
recently tried La Roche-Posay sunscreen and I’m really impressed! 🌞 The texture is lightweight, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly without leaving a white cast, which is a big plus for daily wear. It feels gentle on my skin and doesn’t clog pores, making it perfect for sensitive or acne-prone skin. I also love that it provides strong, broad-spectrum protection while still feeling breathable. Overall, it’s become my go-to sunscreen—I actually enjoy applying it every morning because it feels more like skincare than sunscreen. Definitely worth it! I would be honored if you would consider me to receive a PR package. I’d love the opportunity to try more of your products and create authentic content that highlights the benefits of La Roche-Posay skincare. Thank you so much for your time and consideration! Warm regards, Andrea Mohanlall
