Biocide Rapide™ Test Kit – ECHA Microbiology

Biocide Rapide™ Test provides a reliable assessment of preservative, biocide or antimicrobial concentrations on-site or in the laboratory. This unique test kit allows users to identify how much anti-microbial remains in a sample after treatment.

TRUSTED +

Biocide Rapide™ provides a reliable indication of whether a given sample may have been dosed with an anti-microbial chemical such as Biocide. It is a well-recognised method for the assessment of biocidal efficacy in a wide range of sample types.

INNOVATIVE +

The Test Kit can be used by simply adding your sample to an ampule of gel contained within the pack, and then incubating it at 64° C for a fixed period of 3 hours and 15 minutes. The growth of Bacillus (a safe and harmless bacteria) can then be assesed by examining the ampule post-incubation, and checking for any change in colour of the gel. If the gel does not change colour, the sample must have contained sufficient anti-microbial chemical to inhibit the growth of the Bacillus.

ACCURATE +

Biocide Rapide™ consists of ampules of gel which contain the spores of a thermophilic Bacillus and an indicator which changes from purple to yellow when growth occurs within the ampule. This simple colour-change indication technology is widely recognised as a reliable, semi-quantitative technique for the detection of the absence or presence of anti-microbial chemicals.

DEPENDABLE +

As well as being easy to use, this test kit provides a rapid indication of anti-microbial chemical presence, and in less than 4 hours, provides a reliable, semi-quantitative result. A specific Incubator is also required in order to maintain the required temperature of 64° C.

Features:

• Detects the absence or presence of any anti-microbial chemicals that may be/have been present in any given sample
• Can be used for testing fuels, metal working fluids and more
• Utilises simple colour-change indication technology
• Provides easy-to-read results to demonstrate the extent of contamination
• Can be used either on-site or inside the Laboratory
• Requires specialist incubator to maintain required incubation temperature
• Provides rapid results within just a few hours
• Enables target concentrations of Biocides to be easily maintained, avoiding incorrect dosage rates
