<\/div>\nUsing cultures in a liquid medium the inoculation loop is loaded with a drop of the culture and it is put on a clean microscope slide and the sample is smeared on it to obtain a thin film (smear). If a culture in a solid medium is used, firstly a small drop of water is put on the microscope slide. Then the inoculation loop is loaded with a small amount of the bacteria from a culture colony and it is resupsended in the drop of water, after which it is smeared on.<\/p>\n
After that the slide must be dried<\/strong> by bringing it close to the flame of the Bunsen burner making sure that it doesn\u2019t isn\u2019t too hot (check with the back of your hand that it doesn\u2019t burn). Once dry, it is then fixed<\/strong>, by passing the slide 3-4 times through the flame of the Bunsen burner (the flame must touch the lower part of the microscope slide). After that the slide is ready to be dyed and the procedure to be followed depends on the type of staining.<\/p>\n \n Apoyo a acciones de Innovaci\u00f3n Docente – Vicerrectorado de Estudios \/ Consultas e incidencias t\u00e9cnicas- Tlf: 96 522 2059 – info@goumh.es <\/a><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Using cultures in a liquid medium the inoculation loop is loaded with a drop of the culture and it is put on a clean microscope slide and the sample is smeared on it to obtain a thin film (smear).
