by comparing them to a library of over 250 images including side views and top views at the colony

and cell level. The images include those of microbes in fi ve microhabitats (air, soil, water, surface, and food) on 8

paddle agar types.

Images of microbe colonies on the BioPaddle

®

can be captured with the iPad camera, or imported, for a side

by side comparison to a reference library of more than 30+ standard microbe colony images at the genus level.

Further identifi cation to the species level can be made by consulting the Microbe Fact Sheets. A report of the

fi ndings, including a full color image, can be prepared and distributed directly by email.

Resource materials include sampling and enumeration procedures, BioPaddles

Technical Documents for 9

paddles, 35 Microbe Fact Sheets, procedures for common microbiological techniques such as calculating CFU

and serial dilution, Microbe Microhabitats, Microbe Morphology, Fungi and Bacteria Microanatomy, Microbe

Growth Examples and Indentifi cation Guides.
