The Kittiwake Field Incubator is designed for reliable incubation of bacteriological slides, on-site or in a laboratory.

HSC (L8) Approved Code of Practice gives practical advice on how to comply with the UK law with regard to the control of legionnella bacteria in water systems.
Guidance notes contained within the ACOP (page 31 p125-8) describe the use of dipslides for the weekly monitoring of bacteria levels in cooling water.

Dipslides must be incubated in a dipslide incubator (usually at 30oC) for a minimum of 48 hours. The incubation period and the temperature should be the same each time the test is performed so that trend analysis is possible.

Dipslides, when used in conjunction with the Kittiwake Field Incubator enable effective microbiological monitoring of cooling water in accordance with the HSE L8 ACOP.

Features:

• 50W power supply, fan assisted with no electrical earth requirement.
• Wide temperature range - can be used for a variety of test parameters.
• Clear viewing lid to monitor changes in dipslides as they are being heated.
• Rapid heating times for fast testing.
• Compact design can be bench or wall mounted for flexibility of use.
