Hi,
I'm doing a Total Bacteria test using the pour plate method.
As part of the QA/QC, I will be incubating:
a) the TB agar alone; and
b) the TB agar with the dilution water as a sample.
I will also have a positive and negative control. The positive control will
be a solution containing the dilution water and EColi which will undergo the
same procedure as a normal sample.
As for the negative control, I'm a little confused. Should it be the
incubation of a) TB agar only or should it be b) TB agar with dilution water
as a sample.
As I only want to eliminate the EColi factor, I was thinking of using b) for
the negative control. Is that right?
Thank you for the help.
Rgds
Agatha
