Instructions for use
Ensure you have considered the following additional items that may be required :
- Sterilised sampling bottles/sampling bags
- Result form/log book
- Methanol
- Non-electric autoclave/pressure cooker
- Cigarette lighter
- Paper towel
- Liquid detergent
- De-ionised water

When you are in the field:
- Always place kit on a firm surface where it is easy to work
- Use the work surface in the kits - sterilise it before commencing and repeat as necessary to avoid cross-contamination
- After preparing samples for incubation, label each petri dish with the relevant information - sample no./time/ source name etc. using the pen provided.
- If collecting the sample in a bottle, store below 4ºC and analyse within 4-6 hours
- Switch the incubator on 30 minutes before use to allow time for incubation temperature to be reached.
