E-Coat Dipslides (2 x 10 Pack)

R2,200.00 Excl. VAT

The E-Coat Dipslides (2 Packs of 10 Tests) are designed to monitor microbiological contamination in e-coating systems and rinse waters by detecting aerobic bacteria, yeasts, and moulds. Each dipslide features two testing surfaces: a nutrient agar with red spot dye for easy identification of bacterial colonies, and a malt extract agar for detecting yeast and fungal growth. These tests help maintain system performance by identifying contamination that can cause biofilm formation, odours, pH changes, and reduced coating effectiveness. Lead time is 4 weeks.

About Our E-Coat Dipslides

The E-coat dipslide is used for detecting microbiological contamination in e-coating applications / rinse waters. These dipslides test for aerobic bacteria, yeasts and moulds (fungi). The nutrient (straw coloured) side tests for aerobic microbes and contains red spot dye. The addition of red spot dye means that colonies that grow on this agar appear as red dots, making them easy to view and count.

The malt extract side (brown coloured) tests for yeasts and moulds, which will appear as straw coloured colonies (yeast) or fluffy colonies (mould). Scroll down to the ‘Reading The Results’ section for examples of colony appearance.

E-coating can provide the perfect environment for microbiological contaminants to grow. A wet environment and temperatures conducive to growth can contribute to this. Bacterial or fungal contamination in e-coating systems can cause visible biofilm, unpleasant odours and changes in pH. Contamination can also affect the system’s efficacy.

In addition to the dipslides, there is also an option to buy the pocket tester to your purchase when buying this product. The PCStestr 35 is a handheld digital device that tests pH, TDS, Conductivity and Temperature.
