Details
Overcrowded bacterial cell colonies that have developed on a Petri dish can be easily screened and identified with the aid of the Replica Plating Grid. The Replica Plating Grid is a flat, white polystyrene plate 34.2 x 38cm (13½ x 15-Inch) with five wells to hold a plastic Petri dish. Two wells are printed with a 24-square numbered grid and two are printed with a 50-square numbered grid. The grid patterns aid in precise location. The center well is blank and holds the master dish. The master Petri dish containing the crowded colonies is placed into the center well of the Replica Plating tray. Two sterile dishes containing agar are placed into two identical wells with marked grids, depending on the number of colonies that are to be examined, 24 or 50. The top outer wall of the bottom section of the two sterile dishes is marked through the indentation present in each well, for alignment. A sterile toothpick is used to remove bacterial cells from the center of a colony present in the master plate. This pick is used for each isolated colony from the master dish. After incubation, bacterial colonies in one replica dish can be analyzed while the other replica serves as a backup of fresh colonies that were found of interest for further growth and study. Bel-Art #: F378480000.
