How do you count bacteria ?Comparing Bacteria Counts of Water Samples. Put a drop of water of well water on a sterile
plate of TGY or other agar. Spread it uniformly over the surface of the
agar with any non-absorbent sterile tool. ... Incubate the plate at 30C or room temperature (r.t.). Examine the plate as often as you like. ... Count the colonies.
What is a cell counter?A counting chamber,(also known as hemocytometer),
is a microscope slide that is especially designed to enable cell counting. The slide has a sink in its middle; the area of the sink is marked with a grid. A drop of a cell culture is placed in the sink
What is a serial Dilution in Microbiology?We can dilute once, then dilute this dilution, only to dilute this dilution, and so on until we get to the appropriate concentration of cells. This is called a serial dilution. A serial dilution is a series of sequential dilutions used to reduce a dense culture of cells to a more usable concentration.
How do you calculate viable cell count? Take the average cell count from each of the sets of 16 corner squares. Multiply by 10,000 (104). Multiply by 5 to correct for the 1:5 dilution from the Trypan Blue addition.
