INDUSTRIAL DIPSLIDES

Solar - Cult® Industrial Dipslide

Solar-Cult® industrial dipslides were developed to provide an inexpensive, fast, simple method for detecting microbial contamination in suspect liquids. Our dipslides are double sided, enabling simultaneous examination of test specimens with two different selective media.

Nutrient Agar with TTC ( Tri-phenly tetrazolium chloride) both sides of slide

Nutrient Agar with TTC ( Triphenyltetrazolium Chloride)

Description

A general purpose agar medium, containing two peptones, which will support the growth of a wide variety of organisms. It is suitable for the cultivation both of aerobes and anaerobes, the latter being grown either in deep cultures or by incubation under anaerobic conditions.

A small quantity of the dye 2,3,5- triphenyltetrazolium (TTC) is added. Aerobic bacteria species grow on this medium and they can be detected by their ability to reduce TTC to a red colored formozan dye. Bacterial colonies appear as red dots on an otherwise clear colorless medium.
