The bacterial dip slides provide a convenient, simple and accurate means of assessing the water quality of fresh and sea-water with
respect to the aerobic bacterial concentration.
When the tests are conducted on a regular basis, they will detect any gross changes in the bacterial flora of the water. Regular use of
the dip slides will act as an early warning of such developments or of water pollution. Recording the results may prove useful, since in the event of a
pollution incident the records will be essential evidence.
The dip slides are also a useful tool for the routine monitoring of disinfection systems such as UV and ozonation. Regular use of the
slides insures that cleaning or maintenance of the system can be carried out before the performance of the systems deteriorates below acceptable levels.
The procedure employed to use the slides is very simple.
| Remove slide from tube & dip in sample liquid to be checked |
 |
| Drain excess fluid |
 |
| Incubate in an incubator or at room temp is incubator is not available |
 |
| View readings in approx two days |
