What are biopaddles?
Some competing products are called dipslides. BioPaddles® are flexible dual-agar paddles each containing microbe-specific media enclosed in a
sterile vial. Identify and quantify microbes in 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.
