Easy microbial testing for water, hygiene and industrial systems.
Bactaslyde helps users monitor microbiological activity quickly and economically with ready-to-use dipslides, pouch pack tests and specialised bacteria test kits. The range is designed for routine in-house monitoring, helping technical as well as non-technical users perform checks without building a full microbiology laboratory setup.
Choose the right Bactaslyde format for your application.
Bactaslyde products are intended to make routine microbiological screening more accessible. Select quantitative dipslides, presence-or-absence pouch tests or specialised bacteria test kits based on the organism and sample type you need to monitor.

View range on RakiroRoutine monitoring gives better control.
Regular microbiological testing helps maintain process hygiene, monitor changes over time and identify when cleaning or treatment programs need attention. It also supports better housekeeping and faster decision-making because sampling and testing can be carried out more frequently.
Cooling tower microbiological monitoring
Cooling towers are continuously exposed to airborne contamination, warm recirculating water and nutrients that can support bacterial growth and biofilm formation. Regular testing helps observe microbial trends, support biocide program review and identify early signs of system imbalance.
Bactaslyde dipslides and specialised kits are useful for routine checks because they are simple to use, economical for repeated sampling and practical for maintenance teams and water-treatment professionals.
Food and beverage hygiene control
In food processing and beverage handling, regular microbiological checks are important for surfaces, water, process areas and selected raw or intermediate materials. Trend-based routine testing supports good hygiene practices and helps teams identify areas that may need improved sanitation attention.
Because the tests are ready to use and require minimal infrastructure, Bactaslyde kits can support in-house hygiene monitoring at a practical operating cost.
Paints, emulsions and coatings
Water-based paints, emulsions and related products can be affected by microbial contamination during manufacture, storage and use. Routine monitoring helps reduce spoilage risk, odour issues, viscosity change and product instability caused by unwanted microbial activity.
Bactaslyde solutions are particularly useful where economical, easy and repeatable monitoring is needed across multiple batches or storage points.
Dip. Incubate. Read.
Bactaslyde dipslides are easy-to-use, ready-to-use microbial test devices coated with selective and differential media. They are ideal for frequent routine checks because the method is simple, the visual interpretation is practical and the overall testing cost remains economical compared with many conventional approaches for routine screening.
Dipslides can be used for liquids, surfaces and process-point checks. This makes them useful for cooling water, treated water, production environments, food facilities, cosmetic or paint manufacturing and many other industrial hygiene applications.
Dip or sample
Expose the slide to the liquid or surface according to the product instructions.
Incubate
Allow the prepared media to develop under the recommended time and temperature conditions.

Simple screening for selected organisms.
Bactaslyde pouch pack kits are designed for easy presence-or-absence screening where convenience, quick setup and economical routine monitoring are important. They are suitable for food industry checks, hygiene monitoring, environmental samples and selected water applications depending on the organism of interest.
The method is straightforward: take the sample, add the media as instructed, incubate and observe the specified response. This makes pouch packs a practical option for routine usage in quality, production and maintenance environments.
