Reading MicroPlates
When you’re entering
sample identifiers,
make sure you select
the correct strain type.
The default entry in
that field is “NOT
SELECTED.” If
default strain type is
selected, no database
will be searched

2. Plate Number: Type in the MicroPlate number.
3. Sample Number: Type in the sample ID number.

4. Plate Type: Use the drop-down list to select the type of
MicroPlate you used.
5. Strain Type: Use the drop-down list to select the strain type you
are working with.
• For an initial bacterial query use one of the following: GN-NENT,
GN-ENT, GN-FAS, GP-COCCUS, GP-ROD, GP-ROD SB, AN-
ALL (use the NON-APPLICABLE default for other MicroPlate
types.)
• Secondarily, use GN-ALL or GP-ALL to screen organisms of
questionable type and morphology as required.
• If an ID is obtained using GN-ALL or GP-ALL be sure to check
that the correct protocol for that ID was used.
• For FF query Use the FF-AIR or FF-FOOD database for FF
MicroPlates, depending on the source of the organism to be
identified. These databases also contain the most commonly
isolated species from the other databases (Yeast, Aspergillus,
Colletotrichum, Fusarium, Penicillium, Trichoderma). The other
