A dipslide is a means of testing the microbial content of liquids. This is a common method of monitoring and measuring microbial activity within many systems and commonly cooling systems. Usually the use of a dipslide is the first line of defence for the testing of microbial issues that could be caused to manufacturers and machine shop fluid systems.
Dipslides consist of a plastic barrier which bears a sterile culture medium which can be dipped into the liquid being sampled. The resulting microbial colonies are estimated by reference to a chart.
Dipslides are usually incubated for 48 hours after use and any subsequent bacteria in the sample water will grow and form colonies.
Professionals in water utilities, environmental agencies, and industrial sectors require efficient and precise water testing solutions. The traditional methods often involve complex procedures and can be time-consuming. This factor and increasing regulatory requirements result in a growing demand for faster and more accurate testing technologies.

Water testing is important when maintaining a pool or hot tub to make sure the water is safe to be in. The water can end up having too many or too little chemicals in it which can affect the pools hygiene and bacteria levels. The most frequently tested parameters are pH, chlorine (free and total), bromine, alkalinity and calcium hardness. Camlab have created water testing kits for testing thes...
Nanocolor tube tests are produced by Macherey Nagel and contain pre-dosed reagents housed within a 16mm cuvette. They are designed for ultimate ease of use. They work with a range of Macherey Nagel photometers for water analysis applications. And they even have a barcode on so that you can select the correct test quickly without have to scroll through dozens of options.
With advanced techno...
Instachlor tablets by Palintest are rapidly dissolving chlorine tablets that can be used for a number of disinfection and water treatment applications. They contain sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) which is an organic chlorine donor that when added to water, releases a given amount of chlorine into solution. The applications of Instachlor are wide ranging from personal water disinfection for...
A.Trying to pick out the correct test can prove to be a challenge. There are a number of different tests available from Hach to test for Iron and you will need to select the most appropriate test for the specific form of iron you are testing for. Iron can be present in natural and treated water. The presence of excess iron can have negative impacts for instance insoluble deposits (rust) can ...

Peroxides are products generated from the breakdown of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the oil. They build up slowly over time contributing towards oil rancidity, resulting in undesirable flavours and odours. Their identification provides useful information about oil conservation and rancidity. Along with other measurements of free fatty acids (FFA) and UV absorption this information is used to ...
Phosphate tests are often stated as reporting Orthophosphate or Total Phosphorous, but can also give other parameters like Acid Hydrolyzable Phosphates.
We've taken a look at the definitions behind these terms, so you can tell which Phosphorous or Phosphate test to use.
What are Phosphates and Phosphorous?
The element Phosphorous, P, exists in water courses in a wide range of forms...
Thanks for sharing such a great information.. It really helpful to me.. I always search to read the quality content and finally i found this in you post. keep it up!
I came across your article about "DPD Tablets" on Camlab Info, and it's a valuable resource for anyone seeking information about water testing and analysis using DPD tablets. Your explanation of their usage and significance in water quality monitoring is quite informative.
This article on nanocolor tube tests is a gem for analytical enthusiasts. The idea of zero calibration is intriguing, and your detailed explanation makes it accessible. The step-by-step process helps demystify the technique for beginners like me. The use cases you've highlighted, particularly in...
