It also means you are following guidance from the HSE for the safe handling of metalworking fluids.
Dipslides are incubated at a temperature of 30 degrees for a period of 48 hours to check for bacteria, and then a further 24 hours to check for yeasts and moulds.
This incubation period ensures that quantifiable microbacterial growth is achieved.
