Labeling Help

Labeling Help for Nutrient Agar Plates:

• Label quadrant number (i.e. 2 or 4)                                                           
• Label soil sample (i.e. A,B,C,D,E)
• Label date

Remember:

• Fungi Plates: (Mold). Plate your "10⁰" dilution on your labled petri plate "10⁰" and so on until you have plated your "10^-2" dilution on the petri plate
  • Label: 10⁰  ,10^-1,10^-2      
• Bacteria Plates. Plate these dilutions on their corresponding petri plates just as you did with your fungi plates, but use your 10^-2,10^-3,10^-4 dilutions instead.
  • Label 10^-2,10^-3,10^-4

Labeling Help for Test Tubes

• Label quadrant number (i.e. 2 or 4)                                                           
• Label soil sample (i.e. A,B,C,D,E)
• Label date

Remember:

• Each soil sample will need 5 test tubes
  • This means 30 tubes in total per one serail dilution
• Label each one with dilution value

  • 10⁰ ,10^-1,10^-2,10^-3,10^-4

Labeling Help for Plastic Baggies

• Label quadrant number (i.e. 2 or 4)                                                           
• Label soil sample (i.e. A,B,C,D,E)
• Label date
