Slanting medium transfer technique

Summary

Slant medium transfers are mainly used for (1) transfer of bacteria (2) isolation and preservation of bacteria.

Operation method

Slanting medium transfer technique

Principle

Slant medium is a kind of solid medium, the production should be quantitatively dispensed in the test tube while hot, and solidified into a slant is called slant medium, used for the expansion of strains of bacteria to transfer the tube and the preservation of strains.

Materials and Instruments

Agar Slant Medium
Inoculation ring Thermostat

Move

1、Label the name (or number) of the transferred bacteria, the date of inoculation, and the group and code name of the inoculator on the upper part of the test tube of agar slant medium.


2. Hold the bottom of the plate with bacteria in your left hand and the inoculation ring in your right hand. After the inoculation ring is sterilized and cooled on the flame, dip the isolated colonies that are well-developed on the delineation of the plate. Put the plate back to the original place, immediately use this hand to take the slanting medium oblique hold, with the right hand little finger and palm clamping cotton plug, gently rotate after dialing out the cotton plug, the mouth of the tube through the flame sterilization.


3, the inoculation ring has been stained with bacteria into the solidified water at the bottom of the tube of slanting medium, along the surface of the slanting medium from the bottom upwards to draw a straight line, and then from the bottom upwards to draw a continuous zigzag line; can also not draw a straight line only to draw a zigzag line. Take out the inoculation ring, the mouth of the tube through the flame sterilization, plug the cotton plug, put on the test tube rack, the inoculation ring flame sterilized and put down.


To the slanting medium to transfer the seed of bacteria if the growth in the slanting medium, or growth in the liquid medium, the left hand at the same time oblique hold the strain tube and the slanting medium of the two tubes, the right hand, ring finger, pinky palm at the same time pulled up to hold the two cotton plugs. The mouth of the tube and the inoculation ring was first flame-sterilized, and then the bacteria were taken from the strain tube and immediately transferred to the slant, stuffed with cotton plugs, and the inoculation ring was put down after flame sterilization. Then the slant culture medium was put into 37℃ constant temperature box to cultivate for 24 h. As a result, bacterial moss was formed on the surface of the slant.

Caveat

1. The correct hand position for inoculation of bacteria is: the left hand holds the bottom of the plate with the bacteria and the right hand holds the inoculation ring.

2. Remove the inoculation ring and sterilize the mouth of the tube by passing it through the flame.

Common Problems

Aseptic validation is required before inoculation can be preserved.
