The GESERCO bacteria test kit is designed to detect and measure the presence of aerobic bacteria, sulfate reducing anaerobic bacteria, moulds, yeast and fungi into petroleum products in the field, at the place of storage or use.
The test is simple and rapid, and the kit includes detailed instructions for the person in charge of the petroleum product to take immediate curative action.
Measuring principle
The test is based on the dip slide principle: a dedicated sterile culture medium on a plastic carrier is dipped into the liquid to be tested. The culture is then incubated, allowing for microbial growth.
When the tested sample contains bacteria, yeast, moulds or fungi, they develop within a few hours on the culture medium.
The slides are gridded to make the evaluation of the contamination level easier.
