Air Sampling Using Settle Plates

Air sampling can take many forms. Here we show the best practice and basic techniques required for the preparation of settle plates for analysis. Settle plates are used to directly sample the likely number of microbes depositing onto a product or work surface over a set time period.

Short but clear video. Thank you sir

Hi , what is the air temperature target for yeast and mould air plates during collection?

[@b_buniesre0]

I need to know the number of colonies in this experiment 💀

[@fuzzybug3000]

Really want to see the results!

[@nickcork1]

Take a look at the video comparing fungal vs bacterial growth to see an example of the results - czcams.com/video/xhmv0tItbnc/video.html

One said it better to place plate in laminar.

How is the calculation for getting the CFU/m3/minute arrived at? Thank you

[@rithikachakraborty494]

We use colony counter to count the cfu

The music was too much i could hardly get the explanation

How do you report the result?

[@nickcork1]

Results are usually reported as cfu/plate. Exposure time is also important - for food production facilities, this is usually between 15 minutes and 1 hour. If the sampling is undertaken during busy production, less exposure time is required.
