HYCON® Contact Slides

Microbial Monitoring of Flat and Curved Surfaces

HYCON® Contact Slides from Merck are developed for easy and flexible microbiological monitoring of flat and curved surfaces. Their unique design makes them a universal tool for aseptic environments and isolators. Merck offers a range of total count media as well as selective media for yeasts and molds, and for coliform bacteria. For use in most critical areas there are gamma-irradiated products in sterile double packaging available. Each contact slide is welded into a re-sealable sleeve to enable individual strips to be safely sterilized a number of times by peroxide gassing.
