Reading MicroPlates
Fusarium, Penicillium, Trichoderma). The other
databases are intended for use by researchers working
on specific genera, not for routine food and air isolates.
-Strain Name, Number: If you have additional information,
enter it in these optional fields.
-Incubation Time: Use the drop-down list to select the hours
that the MicroPlate has incubated.
Note: A 240-hour incubation time is listed for the FF
database, however, there is no database for 240 hours.
That listing is a research tool.
-Other: If you have additional information, enter it in this
optional field (colony morphology, culture conditions, etc.).
-Comment: An optional comment can be entered in this field.
3. Wipe the bottom of the MicroPlate to remove condensation and
fingerprints.
4. Place the MicroPlate on the reader tray with the A1 well at the top
left-hand corner.
5. Gently push the MicroPlate down until it snaps into a level position
in the reader tray.
6. Remove the MicroPlate lid.
Note: For FF, leave the lid on. Replace it with a new lid if
condensation is present.
7. Click Read Next on the Data window.
8. The reader calibrates itself, pulls the MicroPlate inside, takes a
reading, displays the result on the Data window, and ejects the
MicroPlate. Briefly do a visual check of the reaction with the +/b/-
called by the auto-thresholding function (see pg 5.20 if adjustment
is required).
