FASTCheck15® In-Office Waterline Test Strip
Solmetex FASTCheck15 In-Office Waterline Test Strip, available from All Practice Solutions, is a rapid test for monitoring dental unit waterlines for harmful bacteria, with results in about 15 minutes instead of the roughly three days a paddle (HPC) test takes. Add 5 drops of water to the test vial with the included pipette, swirl, mix in the reagent, and read the strip at the 5- and 10-minute steps. One line is a pass and two lines is a fail, with no counting, color matching, incubation, or neutralizer required. The strip detects microbial levels above 500 CFU/mL, the benchmark referenced by the EPA drinking water standard and CDC guidelines, making it practical for checking handpiece effluent water and supporting your waterline maintenance and biofilm protocols.
