Laboratory Sample Reading<br />

Step 5: Remove Cysts<br />

All golden cysts must be identified, whether they are considered to be<br />

viable or not. If you locate one or more golden nematode cysts when<br />

reading a sample, then do as follows:<br />

1. Get one vial and a lid from the golden nematode station and take<br />

to the sampling station.<br />

A. Use only one vial per sample, even if there are multiple cysts<br />

from the same sample.<br />

B. Do not mix cysts from multiple samples into one vial.<br />

2. Look under the microscope and use the loop to locate and isolate<br />

each golden nematode cyst.<br />

3. Use the loop to remove the suspect golden nematode cyst(s) from<br />

the flotsam in the tray; and place each cyst into the vial. Screw<br />

on the lid. See Figure 2-4-17 below.<br />
