LOVIBOND

LOVIBOND is a brand historically associated with water analysis and colour measurement, with origins in the United Kingdom dating back to the late 19th century. The product line supplied by 3G Electric focuses on two practical categories: portable single-parameter colorimeters and microbiological dip slides. The colorimeters are handheld instruments that use an LED light source and a digital display to measure specific dissolved parameters in water samples. The example in the current catalogue measures molybdenum concentration with a stated accuracy of 3%, and is intended for both field and laboratory use. The dip slides are agar-coated paddles used to estimate microbial contamination in fluids and on surfaces. They are supplied with a range of selective and non-selective media, including TTC/MALT, SRB, TTC/MAC, TTC/PDM, TTC/E.COLI, MAC/PDM, and TTC/ROSE. Each slide has a stated minimum detection level, commonly 100 CFU/mL, and is compatible with specific indicator organisms such as Penicillium notatum, Aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli, other coliforms, Candida spp., and sulfate-reducing bacteria. These products are used in industrial hygiene monitoring, coolant and process water testing, and general microbiological surveillance where a simple, low-infrastructure method is required. The colorimeters and dip slides are consumable or portable instruments rather than fixed process equipment, so they are typically specified by maintenance, facilities, or quality functions rather than by plant automation engineers. 3G Electric supplies the LOVIBOND line as part of its broader industrial equipment catalogue, which also includes burners, pumps, and gas controls. For buyers, the relevant technical details are the parameter or organism being tested, the agar type or light source, the stated accuracy or detection limit, and the manufacturer part number. The dip slides are single-use items with a defined shelf life and storage requirements, while the colorimeters use a specific wavelength LED matched to the test chemistry. 3G Electric provides access to these items with manufacturer part numbers listed for cross-reference, and can quote on request. The catalogue includes both the instrument and the consumable slides, allowing a buyer to source a complete testing setup from one supplier. No installation or commissioning is required for either product family; they are used as received, following the manufacturer's instructions for sample preparation, incubation, and reading. The dip slides are read by comparing the density of colonies against a reference chart after incubation, while the colorimeter provides a direct digital readout. This makes the line suitable for sites that need routine, on-site testing without sending samples to an external laboratory. 3G Electric lists the LOVIBOND items with their manufacturer part numbers, agar types, test parameters, and detection limits so that procurement and technical staff can match the correct item to the required test.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about LOVIBOND from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between the LOVIBOND dip slides with different agar types?

The agar type determines which microorganisms the slide will detect. TTC/MALT is used for general surface contamination including Penicillium notatum. SRB agar targets sulfate-reducing bacteria in fluids. TTC/MAC detects Aerogenes bacteria. TTC/PDM is for aerobic microorganisms and Pseudomonas species including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. TTC/E.COLI is for fluids and detects aerobic microorganisms, E. coli, other coliforms, and Pseudomonas spp. MAC/PDM targets other Pseudomonas species in fluids and surfaces. TTC/ROSE detects Candida spp. on surfaces. Each slide has a stated minimum detection level, typically 100 CFU/mL, and is supplied under a specific manufacturer part number.

What does the LOVIBOND portable colorimeter measure and what is its accuracy?

The LOVIBOND portable colorimeter in the 3G Electric catalogue is a single-parameter instrument configured to measure molybdenum concentration in water samples. It uses an LED light source and a digital display. The stated accuracy is 3%. It is a handheld unit suitable for field or laboratory use. The manufacturer part number is 280191. Because it is a single-parameter colorimeter, it is specific to molybdenum and cannot be re-configured for other tests without a different instrument or reagent set. Buyers should confirm the required test parameter and range before ordering.

Are LOVIBOND dip slides suitable for testing industrial coolants and process water?

Yes. Several LOVIBOND dip slides are specified for fluids, including coolants and process water. The SRB slide is used for detecting sulfate-reducing bacteria in fluids. The TTC/E.COLI slide is used for fluids and detects aerobic microorganisms, E. coli, other coliforms, and Pseudomonas spp. The MAC/PDM slide is for fluids and surfaces and targets other Pseudomonas species. These slides are used for routine microbiological monitoring where a simple dip-and-incubate method is appropriate. The stated minimum detection level for the fluid-rated slides is typically 100 CFU/mL. Incubation and reading follow the manufacturer's instructions.

What is the minimum detection level of LOVIBOND dip slides?

Most LOVIBOND dip slides in the 3G Electric catalogue have a stated minimum contamination testing level of 100 CFU/mL. This applies to the TTC/MALT, SRB, TTC/MAC, MAC/PDM, and TTC/ROSE slides. The TTC/PDM and TTC/E.COLI slides are listed by their target organisms rather than a single minimum detection figure, but they are used in the same semi-quantitative way. The detection level is a nominal figure for the method; actual sensitivity depends on incubation time, temperature, and sample handling. Users should follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific slide.

Can 3G Electric supply LOVIBOND dip slides and colorimeters together?

Yes. 3G Electric lists both the LOVIBOND portable colorimeter and the dip slide range in its catalogue. The dip slides are available with TTC/MALT, SRB, TTC/MAC, TTC/PDM, TTC/E.COLI, MAC/PDM, and TTC/ROSE agar. The colorimeter is the single-parameter molybdenum unit with manufacturer part number 280191. Because these are separate product families, a buyer can request a quote for a combination of instruments and consumables. Manufacturer part numbers are provided for each item to allow cross-referencing. Availability and lead time are confirmed at the time of quotation.

What are the typical applications for LOVIBOND dip slides in industrial settings?

LOVIBOND dip slides are used for hygiene monitoring on equipment and work surfaces, and for microbiological testing of industrial fluids such as coolants and process water. Specific applications include checking for surface contamination with TTC/MALT or TTC/ROSE, monitoring sulfate-reducing bacteria in fluids with SRB agar, and testing for E. coli and coliforms in water systems with TTC/E.COLI. They are also used to detect Pseudomonas species with TTC/PDM or MAC/PDM. The slides provide a semi-quantitative result after incubation and are read against a reference chart. They are intended for routine monitoring, not for regulatory compliance testing unless validated for that purpose.
