The 97-Well Tray is used with the colitech enzyme-substrate method to determine the MPN concentration of coliforms in a 100 mL water sample. After reagent and sample are dissolved in the tray, the program-controlled quantitative sealer seals the wells; positive wells are counted and compared with the 97-well MPN table.

Packaging

100 trays per box.

Sterilization

Each batch is sterilized before release. Shelf life: 1 year.

Operation

1. Hold one 97-well tray with its wells facing the palm.
2. Press the upper part so the plate bends toward the palm.
3. Pull the aluminum foil to separate the wells without touching the inside of the plate.
4. Pour in the dissolved reagent and sample. Avoid contact between the foil and solution, then tap to remove bubbles.
5. Fit the filled tray to the 97-well rubber pad with the opening upward and feed it into the sealer.
6. Follow the program-controlled sealer instructions for sealing and the reagent instructions for incubation.
7. Count positive large and small wells and consult the 97-well MPN table.
8. Dispose of used materials according to microbiological laboratory regulations.
