Storable inoculation device containing stabilized microorganisms

摘要: The present invention is directed to an inoculation device including easily manipulated handle together with microorganisms associated a for transferring and storing extending periods stabilized, known microorganisms. This particularly useful in testing standard laboratory culture media. produced by associating microorganisms, either alone or binding agent other biologically acceptable additives preservatives, the sample transfer portion of device. When substantially all water removed from device, microbial containing storable extended under sterile, dry conditions free water. method apparatus conveniently economically produces disposable clinical laboratories various growth media cell maintenance programs.
