Envirocheck contact total viable count, a semi-quantitative detection of microorganisms on surfaces and in liquids, are flexible paddles that are coated with Nutrient Agar to determine the total viable count of bacteria in sample. Slide A is Coated with Nutrient Agar containing 0.05% Triphenyl Tetrazolium Chloride (TTC) and Slide B Coated with Nutrient Agar. The growth of bacteria on slide A is indicated by red colonies due to the formation of red formazan dye when TTC is reduced.
Envirocheck contact slides can be used for both surface and liquid testing in industrial and environmental monitoring.
