Bactaslyde offers two practical routine formats. Dipslides provide visible colony development and semi-quantitative comparison, while pouch pack tests are designed for straightforward presence-or-absence screening of selected organisms.
When to choose a dipslide
- You need routine trend monitoring.
- You want total bacterial count with a second organism or microbial group.
- You need to test a liquid or a flat surface.
- You want to compare growth against a reference chart.
When to choose a pouch pack
- You need a simple presence-or-absence result.
- You are screening for a selected organism such as Salmonella, Staphylococcus, Vibrio or iron bacteria.
- You need a convenient field or internal quality format.
