PLATE INFORMATION WINDOW (TO ENTER DATA INTO A WORKSHEET)
5. For each MicroPlate, enter the following information:
• Plate Number: Default begins with 1 (changeable)
Reading MicroPlates
• Sample Number: Type in the sample ID number (optional
field).
• Plate Type: Use the drop-down list to select the type of
MicroPlate you used.
• Strain Type:
o 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.)
o Secondarily, use GN-ALL or GP-ALL to screen
organisms of questionable type and morphology as
required.
o If an ID is obtained using GN-ALL or GP-ALL be sure
to check that the correct protocol for that ID was used.
o 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 databases are
intended for use by researchers working on specific
genera, not for routine food and air isolates. The YT
MicroPlates does not have a list of strain types from
which to choose.
