HygieneChek™ PLUS Dip- Slides are convenient, agarbased test systems designed to detect microbiological contamination in various liquids and on surfaces.


How the test works
HygieneChek™ PLUS Dip-Slides are easy to use, reliable and economic microbiological testing systems. A double-sided agar paddle detects and identifies various microorganisms commonly found in water, foods, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Microbiological samples can be taken directly from liquids and surfaces in the processing environment (including production lines), kitchens, cafeterias, supermarkets, cooling towers and clean rooms. HygieneChek™ Dip-Slides can also be used for air sampling. The only equipment required for the HygieneChek™ PLUS Dip-Slides is an incubator (a benchtop autoclave is optional). The test system consists of a container with a screw cap and a removable paddle. The surface of the paddle is covered on both sides with a nutrient agar medium. Romer Labs offers a range of different agar types. HygieneChek™ PLUS Dip- Slides are also ideally suited for the transport of microbiological samples.
