This PT sample is designed for the quantitative analysis of total fungi and yeast.

The PT sample is provided as a stable lyophilized disk requiring hydration.

A 100 mL of sterile hydration fluid is supplied with the PT sample.

Store the PT sample at 4°C.

The lyophilized sample is stable for a time exceeding the study schedule.

General Information:

Due to the sensitivity of microorganisms and short holding times after hydration, please read entire instructions prior to preparation.

This sample is a single disk and the possible concentration range is quite broad, it may be necessary to analyze the sample in a dilution series.

This sample may be analyzed by any method appropriate for organism of interest.

Preparation Instructions:

Allow the capped sample vial and dilution water to equilibrate to room temperature.

Open the sample vial and aseptically transfer the blue disk (discard the cotton and silica gel beads) to the hydrating fluid. Shake well, the disk will dissolve completely.

This dilution is your sample for analysis.
