Abstract:
An applicator for uniformly applying a sample to bacterial growth media comprising a frame having absorbent material positioned over the tip of the frame and a sleeve of permeable material covering the absorbent material. The applicator is used in test procedures for determining the presence of microorganisms in a sample, the applicator distributing a uniform film of inoculum with even distribution of any organism which may be present in the sample. The applicator thereby permits quantitation of any organisms which may be present in a suspected sample since it applies a specific amount of the sample.
