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.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.
