How to use

The urinary sample is poured briefly (3 – 5 sec.) over the agar. If the urine sample does not cover the total agar surface in all compartments the plate is tilted so that urine from the large counting compartment floods the small compartments containing antibiotics.

The remaining urine is poured off so that urine having been in contact with the small antibiotic compartments don’t come in contact with the counting compartment. Let any excess of urine drip from the plate – ex. by tapping it against the waste container.

Apply the lid and incubate Flexicult® Vet with the bottom facing upwards at 35°C in 18-24 hours.

The plate is read the next day.

After incubation over night (18-24 hours) the agar plate is examined for growth of bacteria.
