Dipslides
Simple, reliable microbiological monitoring for liquids and surfaces.
DTK Dipslides provide a practical and cost-effective solution for monitoring bacterial and fungal contamination across a wide range of industrial, commercial and water treatment applications.
Using established culture-based methods, dipslides provide a semi-quantitative indication of microbial growth, helping users identify contamination and monitor changes in microbiological activity over time.
Available with a selection of specialist culture media, DTK Dipslides are suitable for routine testing of liquids and surfaces, providing a convenient approach to microbiological monitoring across different working environments.
Reliable Microbiological Monitoring
Regular microbiological testing helps operators identify changes in bacterial and fungal activity, providing useful information about water quality, hygiene conditions and the effectiveness of treatment programmes.
DTK Dipslides provide a semi-quantitative indication of microbial contamination, allowing users to monitor trends and identify when further investigation or corrective action may be required.
They are particularly useful in cooling water systems, where regular monitoring can help detect increasing microbial activity and potential biological fouling that may affect system condition and performance.
Suitable for Multiple Applications
DTK Dipslides are available with a selection of specialist culture media, allowing users to choose the most appropriate testing option for their application and monitoring requirements.
Applications include industrial water systems, cooling towers, food and beverage production, breweries, dairies, healthcare facilities, swimming pools, environmental hygiene monitoring and industrial fluids.
This versatility makes dipslides suitable for routine microbiological checks across different industries, providing a practical solution for monitoring contamination in both liquid samples and on surfaces.
Designed for Straightforward Sampling
DTK Dipslides provide a simple method for collecting samples from liquids and surfaces, making them suitable for regular microbiological monitoring across different working environments.
For liquid testing, the culture media paddle is immersed in the sample, while surface testing involves bringing the flexible paddle directly into contact with the area being assessed.
Following sampling, the dipslide is incubated under the appropriate conditions, allowing microbial growth to develop before being assessed against the supplied comparison information.
Manufactured for Consistent Quality
DTK Dipslides are manufactured in our purpose-built UK clean room facility under carefully controlled conditions, helping to minimise the risk of contamination during production.
The manufacturing process incorporates high-quality culture media produced in accordance with ISO 11133, supporting consistent product quality and dependable performance during routine microbiological monitoring.
With a large culture surface area, flexible paddle and raised agar surface, DTK Dipslides are designed to support effective sampling of both liquids and surfaces across a variety of applications.
Supporting Effective Microbiological Control
Regular microbiological monitoring helps operators identify changing contamination levels, assess hygiene conditions and determine when further investigation or corrective action may be required.
By combining straightforward sampling methods with specialist culture media and controlled manufacturing processes, DTK Dipslides provide an accessible way to monitor microbial activity across different environments.
This makes the range a practical solution for supporting routine microbiological monitoring in water treatment, industrial processes and hygiene management applications.
