Method

​

Grow the first organism on prepared media plate, and after 24 hours, remove the colonies of bacteria that appear on the plate with a loop. Transfer the loop containing the bacteria into the cryovial of Bactobank®. Mix and let it stand for 10 SECONDS. Remove most of the broth and store the bacteria inside the cryovial at -20C. The bacteria can survive for years.

 

When the bacteria is needed, remove one bead from the cryovial and transfer onto the plate media.
