For checking the disinfection of containers, equipment and environmental surfaces after cleaning. These Paddle Testers have Tryptic Soy Agar with TTC is on one side of the paddle for total aerobic bacterial count, and DE (Dey-Engley) neutralizing agar on the other side. Tryptic Soy Agar is non-selective and allows a wide variety of bacteria to grow. Dey-Engley Neutralizing Agar is used in disinfectant testing where neutralization of the antiseptics and disinfectants is important for determining their bactericidal activity. This agar neutralizes several antiseptic and disinfectant chemicals including quaternary ammonium compounds, phenolics, iodine, chlorine, mercurial, formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde. Neutralization of disinfectants prevents disinfectant carryover from causing a false no-growth test result and therefore allowing detection of organisms that remain following treatment.
Simply sample, incubate, and document growth. No extensive training required.
