Lovibond Dipslides - Total Viable Count (TVC)

Item # 56B010110

With nutrient agar on both sides of the paddle, the TTC/TTC dipslide is ideal for general hygiene and microbial control trend analysis of a liquid sample or solid surface. When aerobic bacteria is present, colonies appear as red spots, which makes them easy to see and count.

Useful for a wide variety of applications and industrial uses, this dipslide is well suited to Legionella risk assessment and biocide efficacy in industrial waters and cooling waters. By monitoring microbial activity within a system, users can judge if disinfection protocols are effective.

Routine monitoring enables early detection of bacteria and other microorganisms proliferating to avoid major issues within the facility or system. These do-it-yourself tests can be used in the field and deliver semi-quantitative results quickly – with no special training or need to send samples to a laboratory.

Dipslides are supplied in boxes of 10 and come with instructions to determine the activity of aerobic & anaerobic bacteria.
