Why Dip Slide Testing Matters

Bacterial contamination can damage machines and create health risks for operators. Poorly maintained fluids may cause corrosion, odours, and dermatitis. Dip slide testing helps identify these risks early and allows corrective treatment.

How Dip Slide Testing Works

A sterile dip slide is placed into the coolant sample. The slide incubates under controlled conditions where bacteria grow into visible colonies. The number of colonies indicates contamination levels within the fluid system.

Compliance and Safety

Monitoring metalworking fluids forms part of COSHH responsibilities. Dip slide testing provides documented evidence that coolant systems are being monitored and controlled. FluidSolve records every test result and supplies clear reports.

Monitoring and Treatment Advice

Testing results are analysed by experienced technicians. Where contamination appears, we recommend corrective actions such as controlled biocide dosing or system adjustments. Regular monitoring keeps coolant systems stable and productive.
