Machine for automatic bacteriological pour plate preparation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fully automatic system for preparing poured plates for bacteriological analyses has been constructed and tested. The machine can make decimal dilutions of bacterial suspensions, dispense measured amounts into petri dishes, add molten agar, mix the dish contents, and label the dishes with sample and dilution numbers at the rate of 2,000 dishes per 8-hr day. In addition, the machine can be programmed to select different media so that plates for different types of bacteriological analysis may be made automatically from the same sample. The machine uses only the components of the media and sterile polystyrene petri dishes; requirements for all other materials, such as sterile pipettes and capped bottles of diluents and agar, are eliminated.

متن کاملQuantidisc and Yea Method Comparison: Recovery and Enumeration of Mesophilic Heterotrophic Bacteria in Potable Water
Historically, heterotrophic plate counts are enumerated using a pour plate method, whereby plates are read manually. This analysis is important to evaluate the maintenance of water disinfection in a reticulation system. Advances in media and technology have made it possible to do this evaluation using defined substrate media and enumeration is performed by means of instrumentation using softwar...
