The full surface area of the agar (10 square centimeters) should be covered.
There are two techniques for sampling viscous fluids. TECHNIQUE 1 1. Measure a 1mL sample using a sterile graduated cylinder. 2. Either pipette or carefully pour (using aseptic technique) the sample onto the paddle. Tilt [...]
No, you need to "swab" the agar surface with the sample. Growth should include HPC (heterotrophic plate counts), as well as coliform counts.
Yes. Nutrient-TTC (NUT), Tryptic Soy (TSA), and MacConkey (MAC) agars can all be used for marine waters. Testing is essentially identical as for freshwater.
If you are incubating at room temperature, we recommend an incubation period of 36 hours. If you are incubating at 86-90 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius), we recommend an incubation period of 24 hours. It [...]
