NRB (Nitrate Reducing Bacteria) Test Kit
Nitrite Reducing Bacteria Test Kits | NRB Tests SKU: 10010332 For the semi quantitative detection of Nitrite Reducing Bacteria. Nitrite Reducing Bacteria (NRB) are microorganisms that have the ability to reduce nitrite which in turn generates corrosive ammonia and gases (nitrogen). Causing issues such as microbial induced corrosion (MIC) for many industrial sectors, particularly as Nitrite Reducing Bacteria can diminish nitrite corrosion inhibitors. NRB Test Kits are fast, efficient, and easy to use for the semi quantitative detection of such Nitrite Reducing Bacteria, with a large window of detection from bacterial concentrations as little as >10 NRB cfu/ml up to >10⁹ NRB cfu/ml. Results can be interpreted in up to 5 days incubation, with high levels of contamination indicated in as little as 24 hours. Each of our NRB Test Kits comprises of x10 plastic tubes filled with selective culture media to encourage growth of Nitrite Reducing Bacteria. All packaged in securely fitted boxes with an easy-to-follow instruction leaflet, providing all the information required for testing. NRB Test Kits can also be used to measure Nitrite Reducing Bacteria where nitrite has been used to inhibit sulphide production, caused by Sulphate Reducing Bacteria. Other examples of the vast range of test samples that can be screened using our NRB Test Kits are as follows: Metal working fluids, Cooling waters, Water (tanks, environmental, process etc.), Fluids that contain nitrite corrosion inhibitor, Corrosion pits/surfaces. For more information regarding our NRB test kits or for details on bulk order discounts, please feel free to contact us.

SRB (Sulphate Reducing Bacteria) Test Kit
Sulphate Reducing Bacteria Test Kits | SRB Tests SKU: 10010357 For the semi quantitative detection of Sulphate Reducing Bacteria. Sulphate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) are microorganisms that have the ability to produce corrosive sulphide which can, in turn cause a variety of issues for many industrial sectors – such as the corrosion of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and masonry, discoloration of metal fluids and the production of foul-smelling gases. SRB Test Kits are fast, efficient, and easy to use for the detection of such microbial induced corrosion (MIC) caused by Sulphate Reducing Bacteria, with a large window of detection from bacterial concentrations as little as >10 SRB cfu/ml up to >10⁴ SRB cfu/ml. Results can be interpreted up to 6 days incubation, with high levels of contamination indicated in as little as 24 hours. Each of our semi quantitative SRB Test Kits comprises of x10 plastic tubes filled with selective culture media to encourage the growth of Sulphate Reducing Bacteria. All kits are packaged securely in fitted boxes with an easy-to-follow instruction leaflet, providing all the information required for testing. SRB Test Kits can be used to test a vast range of industrial samples including; Metal working fluids, Lubricants and oils, Water (tanks, environmental, process etc.), Fuel tank sediment, Corrosion pits/surfaces, soil, mud and core. For more information regarding our SRB test kits or for details on bulk order discounts, please feel free to contact us.

RBS Dipslide
RBS Dipslides (Box of 10) SKU: 10010150 Tryptone Soya Agar with TTC (Red spot dye) Rose bengal Chloramphenicol agar Most bacteria show up as red spots Yeasts and moulds grow on the second side For general use RBS Dipslides, supplied in a box of ten, are for general testing use. Tryptone Soya Agar with TTC (Red spot dye) and Rose bengal Chloramphenicol agar means most bacteria will show up as red spots. Yeast and mould grows on the second side. TSA-RBC is used for the isolation and enumeration of yeast, moulds, and other fungi from foods and other materials. The TTC (red spot dye) combined with the Rose Bengal component helps in the differentiation of yeasts and moulds from bacteria. After incubation, bacteria colonies will appear on the other side as red spots. TSA-RBC is particularly helpful for the detection of food spoilage caused by these microorganisms.

BTM2 Dipslide
BTM2 Dipslides (Box of 10) SKU: 10010126 Nutrient Agar with TTC (Red spot dye) and Malt extract agar Most bacteria show up as red spots Yeasts and moulds grow on the second side For general use BTM2 Dipslides are made with two different nutrient agars, TTC (red spot dye) and malt extract agar, making them ideal for a comprehensive look at your microbial sample. With BTM2 Dipslides, you'll find a range of bacteria, yeasts, and moulds, and with a nine-month shelf-life and fast incubation time (between 24-120 hours), you can trust that you're getting accurate, reliable results.

Comprehensive Guide to Dipslide Testing Overview
Dipslide testing is a vital microbiological method used across various industries to monitor and control microbial contamination. It offers a simple, cost-effective, and reliable way to assess surface cleanliness and water quality.

Impact of Sulphate Reducing Bacteria on Industrial Machinery Performance
The main impact of sulphate reducing bacteria on machinery is through a process called microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). This type of corrosion occurs when microbial activity accelerates the deterioration of metals.
