1. Take LuciPac Pen tubes out of the refrigerator 20 min prior to use and bring them to room temperature.  Do not use cold LuciPac Pen test tubes.
2. Turn on Lumitester PD-20 by pressing POWER button.
3. Remove swab stick (orange holder) from the test tube.
4. Moisten swab with tap water.
5. Swab the surface which you want to test.
6. Put the swab back into the tube and push it downwards until the holder is completely inserted into the tube.
7. Shake the LuciPac Pen repeatedly in direction of arrow (horizontal) so that the liquid in the capsule falls into the reaction tube and dissolves the regent.

MICROBIOLOGICAL TEST SHEETS

RIDA Count – the test sheet that counts for you.
Our patented solution for hygiene monitoring and food control.

To meet the increasing demands in routine microbiological analysis, Bodinco offers an interesting answer – the RIDA COUNT test sheets.  These sheets have the following benefits: easy handling, long shelf life, and minimum space requirement for storage and incubation.

A unique patented fibre layer provides for all types of applications in food microbiology.
Fast and safe contact tests / swab tests for checking surfaces, automated air samples and the direct incubation of membrane filters, facilitate routine analysis.  RIDA COUNT absorbs liquids applied such as water and beverages as well as all common diluting media for food samples.
A covering film prevents any leakage of sample solution.

RIDA COUNT provides a combination of hygiene monitoring and microbiological product checks in a simple, safe and economic way.
