The bacterial identification and quantification
occurs when the dipslides are dipped for 3 to 4 seconds
in the specific liquid sample, capped in the container
and then incubated as recommended by the dipslide
manufacturer. Once the containers with the sample
dipslides are allowed to incubate, the bacterial growth
will be visually displayed on the exposed surface of the
dipslide medium in the form of colored red or brown
dots, also known as colonies. The unit of measure-
ment used for comparison is the Colony Forming Units
(CFUs) of bacteria detected per milliliter of sample. It
is important to remember that it is the dot quantity that
matters and not the size.
Bacterial contamination in an ecoat system is consid-
ered active when the CFUs/mL is 10
4
or greater, depending
on specific configuration and operation of the pretreat-
ment and ecoat system. Maintaining a system at 10
3
CFUs/
mL or below is critical.
Again, the type of design and system, location,
throughput, history and site-specific housekeeping, main-
tenance and prevention practices and procedures make
each system unique.
