Pre-analytical – Plate Streakers
{"Image DocumentName": "Pre-analytical \u2013 Plate Streakers", "Image ImageDescription": "Select appropriate media. Loads the samples. Spreading the inoculum to obtain isolated single colonies following incubation. Suppliers: WASP (Copan) Previ-Isola (BioMerieux) Innova (BD) and Inoqula (KIESTRA) Not all systems include Gram stain preparation. Recent Studies show that the number of isolated colonies with both the Previ-Isola and WASP system are higher than when inoculation is performed manually. The makers of the machines say these machines give a more consistent and better quality of plate streaking \u2013 leading to less need for secondary replating to gain pure growth \u2013 and ultimately a faster average time to ID/SENs and at the end of the day that is what the clinicians are wanting from us \u2013 RESULTS and fast.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
