BioPaddles are flexible dual-agar paddles each containing microbe-specific media enclosed in a sterile vial

Identify and quantify microbes in the air, soil, water, or any surface! BioPaddles do not require any other testing equipment – only a magnifier and warm place (35°C or incubator) are needed.

Liquid Sampling

Remove the paddle from the vial and fill the vial (approximately 40ml) with the sample. Insert the paddle, and swirl for 15 seconds. Pour out the liquid, replace the paddle in the vial and incubate.

Surface Sampling

Remove the paddle from the vial and gently touch each paddle media surface to the sample surface twice per side. Replace the paddle in the vial and incubate.

Air Sampling

Remove the paddle from the vial. Invert and mount the circular cap into the vial, exposing the agar-covered paddle. Expose for 15 minutes. Replace the paddle in the vial and incubate.
