Bio-Tape™ provides a standardised sampling method for the determination of mould, microbial, bioaerosol, and inorganic dust contamination. It provides the ability to quickly take a sample and measure the relative degree of contamination. It is especially useful when sampling valuable or non-transportable materials and is very effective on smooth areas of concern. Bio-Tape™ is now compatible with both optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Bio-Tape™ consists of a flexible plastic microscope slide with a pre-defined adhesive area. A center-line marker on the slide aids the user in locating the center when taking the sample. Each slide is provided with a unique serial number for traceability and packed in a slide mailer to prevent cross contamination.
Sampling Procedure:
- Remove slide from provided slide mailer.
- Document the sample location on the slide label and complete any required documentation for the laboratory.
- Peel off protective liner from slide to expose adhesive.
- Place slide with the adhesive side down on the surface to be sampled. (Use the centering line to orient the adhesive over the exact sample location desired).
- Gently press down to ensure contact is made. Do not press down hard. The adhesive is very tacky and only needs to be pressed gently.
- Carefully remove slide from surface and place back into slide mailer. Do not replace the plastic “Peel” liner.
- Send slide to laboratory for analysis.
Note: Multiple samples should be collected from both suspect and non-suspect (control) areas for comparison.
