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.

Do you have a Hach DR900? Have you lost the ability to view and access it's stored programs?
There is a potential for the Hach DR 900 to lose the ability to view and access its stored programmes. This is a result of the internal data log overwriting the stored programme file. This will most likely occur on instruments that have performed in excess of 1,700 tests. In addition, th...
When it comes to sewage treatment, effluent testing is crucial in ensuring the quality of discharged wastewater. By performing regular tests, you can monitor the effectiveness of your sewage treatment process and ensure compliance with effluent standards. This blog will cover an overview of the importance of effluent testing, the methods involved, and the standards governing sewage effluent.

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...
Testing of ground and surface water is a key part of routine testing for water companies. Depending on the need, a number of different parameters are often assessed. The Horiba LAQUA range has a meter specifically designed for this type of analysis.
The U-50 series of multi-parameter meters enables the simultaneous measurement and monitoring of up to 11 parameters with one ...
Palintest have launched a line of new handheld water testing photometers featuring the same tried and tested Palintest technology as predecessors but with new and improved features. The Lumiso photometers are available as single parameter meters and also as multi-parameter pool testing meters. They are light-weight, simple to use and ideal for performing water testing anywhere. Explore the ran...
Changes in temperature affect a pH reading. This is why you will usually see the temperature printed on the side of the bottle of pH buffer solutions. The buffer will be closest to its stated pH at that temperature (usually 20oC or 25oC)
When calibrating a pH meter with automatic buffer recognition, it is recommended to use the correct buffer. So please check the manufacture's instructions ...
Why is the pH Important?
The correct mix of feedstock such as slurry, food waste and processed plant material is important to ensure efficient biomethane production.
This combined feedstock (media) is broken down by microorganisms in a series of steps, resulting in the production of methane (methanogenesis).
The pH of the media is an important consideration during this process. Values...
As of July 2021, Hach have stopped production of their SensION electrodes. This follows the phase out of the portable SensION meters earlier in the year. Hach's recommended replacements for any SensION probe is one from the Intellical range to be used in combination with the new HQ line of portable meters. Unfortunately the Intellical probes are not compatible with any existing SensION meters ...
Congratulations on your new Spa or Hot Tub and we are sure that it will give you hours of fun and enjoyment! To ensure that your tub is kept in tip-top condition and everyone using it is kept safe it will be necessary to test and treat the water. We are often asked why do I need to test for and what should I be measuring. Hopefully, the following guide will help:
You need to test the water ...
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...
Grant have introduced the new Controlled Rate Freeze Thaw (CRFT), which is a liquid nitrogen and cryogen free controlled rate freeze and thaw system for cryopreservation in a wide range of applications. Cryopreservation is a process where biological materials such as cells, tissues...
