Description:

Our cosmetic dipslides test for total count bacteria and yeasts and moulds. They have Tryptone Soya agar (TSA) on one side and Rose Bengal on the other. These slides are our most popular for testing makeup, lotions etc.
The Tryptone Soya side includes TTC which means that colonies appear as red dots making them easier to count. The Rose Bengal side has colonies that often appear as pink dots making these easy to count also (mould growth may show as fluffy / powdery colonies).

Advantages:

1. The GNAT MX2 incubator can incubate up to 2 dipslides at a time. It has a pre-set temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and after a short time of stabilisation (15-20 minutes), can be used straightaway.
2. This kit is at a special price that offers the buyer a significant saving over buying the items separately. This kit is convenient and is suitable for those that want to try the slides without buying a large volume.
3. Comparison / analysis charts are included.

How To Use:

1. Making sure to wear sterile gloves, open the pouch and take out the swab
2. The swab end should only come into contact with the sample as to reduce a chance of cross contamination.
3. Carefully streak the sample onto one side of the dipslide then dispose of the swab.
4. Repeat the procedure using a new swab (do not use the same swab) and streak on the Rose Bengal (pink) side.
5. Incubate the dipslide for 24-48 hours. Growth will show on the 'total count' side (straw coloured) side within 24-48 hours.
6. Compare the dipslide against the comparison chart and record the amount of growth.

Kit Contents:

1. 1 GNAT MX2 Dipslide Incubator.
2. 20 Cosmetic Dipslides and 40 sterile swabs.
