Environmental Monitoring Surface & Finger Tip Sampling Hardy Diagnostics offers a fast and convenient way to monitor the microbial bioburden of the work surface of your laminar air flow workbench. Contact agar plates are pressed onto the surface or glove fingertips, incubated, and colonies are counted. Surface Sampling Surface sampling is required on a periodic basis for each laminar air flow workbench or barrier isolator. Tryptic Soy Agar (8908-06) Remove lid. Gently press plate to surface without twisting or sliding. Replace lid and incubate at 0-5 º C. After 8-7 hours, count the number of colonies. Record your results. Fingertip Sampling Personnel monitoring (glove fingertips) is required to be done at initial competency evaluation and no fewer than three times before being allowed to compound sterile preparations. Remove lid. Gently press glove tips to plate surface. Replace lid and incubate at 0-5 º C. After 8-7 hours, count the number of colonies. Record your results.
