Sani-Check B: Test Kit for Counting Bacteria

Contamination by bacteria  in aqueous industrial environments can be responsible for failures in productivity resulting in economic loss. This is particularly true in metalworking fluids and stored hydrocarbon fuels, but the problem also exists in other industrial process and cooling waters.

Bacterial growth in these systems can be responsible for corrosion, slime formation, foul odors, and decreases in fluid function.  In order to effectively treat contamination with biocide, levels of bacterial growth must be routinely monitored. Sani-Check B makes determination of these microbial counts fast and easy. Sani-Check B test systems are kits that contain paddles coated with an agar culture medium. The kits are complete and ready to use. No special equipment or training is necessary.

Both sides of the paddle are coated with a medium selective for bacteria. Almost all aerobic bacteria will grow on this medium and their growth will be in the form of red dots (colonies) on the surface of the agar. The paddle is compared to a chart in order to get a quantitative interpretation of the results.

Sani-Check B has a six month shelf life. It can be stored in the refrigerator or at room temperature, but care should be taken to avoid frequent temperature changes.

Technical service related to the use of Sani-Check B is provided free of charge. Biosan Laboratories is staffed with trained microbiologists who are available to assist you.
