General description

(Disinfection Control) Envirocheck
Envirocheck Contact Disinfection Control, a semi-quantitative detection of microorganisms on surfaces and in liquids, are flexible paddles that are coated with Tryptic soy agar to check the effectiveness of disinfection. Slide A is coated with CASO (Tryptic Soy) Agar to determine the total viable (aerobic) count and Slide B is coated with CASO (Tryptic Soy) agar containing neutralizers such as Polysorbat 80, Sodium thiosulphate, Lecithin and Histidine. The use of these neutralizers allows growth of bacteria that were held in bacteriostasis after sanitation/disinfection but still viable

Application

Envirocheck contact slides can be used for both surface and liquid testing.

Analysis Note

Count the number of colonies on both sides of the paddle. CASO Agar: count the number of colonies for obtaining the microbial load before disinfection. CASO Agar with neutralizers: count the number of colonies to obtain the microbial load of surviving microorganisms after disinfection. Growth indicates that disinfection was either not adequate (too low concentration of disinfectant) or the effective time was too short.
Microbial contamination: no growth
pH-value/side one (25 °C): 7.0 - 7.6
pH-value/side two (25 °C): 7.0 - 7.6
Growth/side one
- Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 (WDCM 00012):
