The most reliable and cost-effective test kit for hygiene controls.

More and more manufacturers are implementing Quality Assurance and HACCP programs in their production process due to stricter International Health and Safety Standards. The crucial factor in these programs is the delivery of safe consumer products that are free from bacterial contamination. Bacterial control monitors have proven to be essential tools for determining bacterial impurities throughout the entire production processes, from raw materials to the finished product.

The hy-giene monitor line of dipslides provides the solution with cost-effective and totally reliable monitoring kits for multi-bacterial testing. The easy-to-use kits can control the entire hygiene process in both small and large operations, without the need for laboratory facilities. The only equipment required is a portable incubator.

The hy-giene monitor incorporates a double-sided paddle poured with specially formulated growth media. The paddle's design allows either traditional dip testing or contact surface testing, and the hermetically sealed vial ensures a long shelf life. The hy-giene monitor is available in a variety of media at the following combinations for the detection of commonly found bacteria. Other combinations are available upon request.
