Micro
Inspector Biologic Test Kits
The
patented Micro Inspector biologic test is a time-based test requiring
3 or less observations of color that show a presence or absence
of viable microbes. When started, the color of the sample is a pale
yellow. The presence of microbes in the sample causes the sample
to turn orange or red. The test sample is observed for the possible
orange or red color at 4, 12 and 24 hours after starting the test.
If the color has remained yellow, the test is continued until the
next observation time. If the sample color is still yellow at 24
hours, the test is over and the microbe results were negative. The
longer the test sample goes without turning orange or red the fewer
number of microbes present.

There
are 3 types of Micro Inspector microbial tests: |
| |
Total
Microbial Test Kit tests for all microbes |
| |
Coliform
Test Kit tests specifically for total coliform presence |
| |
E-Coli
Test Kit tests specifically for e coli presence |
| |
|
| Within
each test type is a test kit for different sample environments: |
| |
water
sample |
| |
indoor
air quality, dry surfaces |
| |
food
and objects |

The
contents of a Micro Inspector test sample ampoule can be analyzed
by a laboratory and a detailed report can be provided on specific
toxic contaminants. Please do the following: refrigerate your test
sample immediately after test shows microbial contamination and
order a laboratory test from our "order
form". We will make arrangements through a certified
laboratory and e-mail you shipping instructions.
