Description

Scigiene’s TRYPTONE SOYA (TSA) TTC + ROSE BENGAL DIPSLIDES  test for bacteria, yeasts, and moulds. This dipslide features two different agars / growth media (one on each side of the dipslide). This dipslide has Tryptone Soya Agar with TTC (red spot dye) and Rose Bengal Agar.

Tryptone Soya Agar with TTC - This agar features red spot dye which makes it easy to view and count colonies. TSA detects and shows growth for a wide variety of fastidious and non-fastidious organisms. It is a general purpose agar that is most often used to detect aerobic bacteria.  Anaerobic bacteria can grow on this agar if incubation is under anaerobic conditions. This agar is often used for environmental testing. TSA will give a total bacterial count (TVC).

Rose Bengal Agar - This agar is selective for yeasts and moulds (fungi). It is very often used to test cosmetics and food samples. Antibiotic content in this agar may suppress bacterial growth.

To use the dipslide, you can either dip the slide into your sample, swab onto the dipslide or press the slide against a surface. Once your sample has been transferred onto the dipslide, you then incubate the dipslide. After incubation, you can then count the colonies / spots and compare with the chart provided.

These RBS dipslides come in a pack size of 10 slides per box. The slide has a flexible paddle and is within a shatterproof container.

Features:

  • Flexible Paddle - Each dipslide features a virtually unbreakable and flexible paddle allowing for even, full surface testing.
  • Easy "Run Off" Design - Due to the design of the dipslide, fluids will drain off quickly during testing.
  • Recessed Handle - Each slide has a handle built into the lid that is recessed to help keep your fingers dry during testing.
  • Side Indicator - One side of the slide will have a circle indicator so you know which side was used for testing which type of contaminant.
  • Dual Sided - Each dipslide is dual sided to allow multiple contamination testing with one test.
  • Thick Reliable Agar - Approx. 4mm
