LifeSign Easicult Combi Kit (10 Tests)

The LifeSign Easicult Combi Kit is packaged to provide 10 complete tests for microbial monitoring in industrial fluids and environments. This quantity ensures cost-effective, on-site detection of early contamination.

Each kit includes:

• 10 dual-media test slides (one side with TTC media for bacteria and the other with Rose-Bengal media for fungi)
• 10 labels
• Instructions for use

Yes, the Easicult Combi Kit utilizes specialized dual media on each test slide for simultaneous detection of microbial contamination in industrial fluids. This dual detection capability is a key feature for proactive quality control.

Each side of the slide is covered with a distinct media type:

• TTC Media: Supports the growth and detection of most common bacteria.
• Rose-Bengal Media: Formulated specifically to support the growth of fungi (yeast and molds).

This combination allows for cost-effective, on-site testing using a simple three-step procedure: dip the slide, incubate, and read the results.

The results for bacterial contamination are typically available within 24 to 48 hours. This timeframe applies when the slides are incubated at the required temperature range of 27 to 30 °C. The kit uses TTC media specifically for bacteria detection.

Yes, this kit is designed for simple, cost-effective on-site monitoring using an easy three-step procedure:

1. Dip: Immerse the dual-media slide directly into the fluid sample.
2. Incubate: Place the slide in an incubator set between 27 to 30 °C.
3. Read: Interpret the resulting microbial growth.

Incubation Times for Results

The time required to read the results varies depending on the type of microbe being detected:

• Bacteria (TTC media): Results are typically available within 24 to 48 hours.
• Fungi (Yeast and Molds, Rose-Bengal media): Results require approximately 3 days.

Note that using the compatible Cultura M Incubator (sold separately) may accelerate result readability by one to two days.

The recommended incubation temperature for the LifeSign Easicult COMBI test is 27-30°C.

The detection of fungi (yeast and mold) requires an incubation time of 3 days when using the Rose-Bengal media side of the slide. The required temperature range for incubation is 27 to 30 °C.

Note: Using the recommended Cultura M Incubator (#05866) may accelerate result readability by one to two days.

The LifeSign Easicult Combi Kit is a specialized tool for industrial hygiene monitoring and preventative maintenance. It is designed to detect microbial contamination (bacteria and fungi) in high-risk fluid environments. It is primarily used in the following sectors:

• Cutting Fluids: Essential for ensuring fluid longevity and preventing equipment corrosion.
• Paint Manufacturing: For maintaining the quality and integrity of paint bases and related fluids.
• Paper/Pulp Facilities: Used to monitor microbial loads in processing water and slurries.
• Fuel Tanks: Critical for detecting early contamination that can lead to filter clogging or component failure.

Using this kit allows facilities to proactively manage microbial growth, preventing expensive equipment breakdowns and maintaining finished product quality.

Yes, a physician’s license is required to use the LifeSign Easicult COMBI test.

Yes, this LifeSign Easicult Combi Kit is designed strictly as a professional microbiological monitoring tool for industrial hygiene applications. It is not intended for at-home use.

Key restrictions apply:

• Use requires a physician’s license.
• Testing must be completed within a licensed laboratory facility.

The LifeSign Easicult Combi Kit is designed for the convenient, on-site monitoring of microbial contamination in industrial fluids and systems.

It utilizes a unique dual media slide to simultaneously detect two major types of contaminants:

• TTC Media: Supports the growth of most common bacteria.
• Rose-Bengal Media: Specifically formulated to support the growth of fungi (yeast and molds).

This kit is essential for quality control and preventative maintenance in compatible industrial settings, including paint manufacturing, cutting fluids, paper/pulp processing, and fuel tanks.
