Wipe the slides with spirit or alcohol. After cleaning, dry the slides and place them on laboratory towels until ready for use. Drawing a circle on the underside of the slide using a glassware-marking pen may be helpful to clearly designate the area in which you will prepare the smear. You may also label the slide with the initials of the name of the organism on the edge of the slide.
With a sterile cooled loop, place a drop of sterile water or saline solution on the slide. Sterilize and cool the loop again and pick up a very small sample of a bacterial colony and gently stir into the drop of water/saline on the slide to create an emulsion.
Heat fixing kills the bacteria in the smear, firmly adheres the smear to the slide, and allows the sample to more readily take up stains.
Allow the smear to air dry. After the smear has air-dried, hold the slide at one end and pass the entire slide through the flame of a Bunsen burner two to three times with the smear-side up.
Follow the guidelines below:
Important: Great care must be taken when heating the carbol fuchsin especially if staining is carried out over a tray or other container in which highly flammable chemicals have collected from the previous staining. Only a small flame should be applied under the slides using an ignited swab previously dampened with a few drops of acid alcohol or 70% v/v ethanol or methanol. Do not use a large ethanol soaked swab because this is a fire risk.
Follow the guidelines below.

Crystal Violet Staining Reagent:
Solution A for crystal violet staining reagent
Working Solution:
\nWipe the slides with spirit or alcohol. After cleaning, dry the slides and place them on laboratory towels until ready for use. Drawing a circle on the underside of the slide using a glassware-marking pen may be helpful to clearly designate the area in which you will prepare the smear. You may also label the slide with the initials of the name of the organism on the edge of the slide.
With a sterile cooled loop, place a drop of sterile water or saline solution on the slide. Sterilize and cool the loop again and pick up a very small sample of a bacterial colony and gently stir into the drop of water/saline on the slide to create an emulsion.
Heat fixing kills the bacteria in the smear, firmly adheres the smear to the slide, and allows the sample to more readily take up stains.
Allow the smear to air dry. After the smear has air-dried, hold the slide at one end and pass the entire slide through the flame of a Bunsen burner two to three times with the smear-side up.

Preparation of sampling location and air sampler: Ensure air sampler is fully charged. Sanitize the external surfaces of the unit with sterile 70% isopropyl alcohol. Press the black colour button on the bottom side to start the air sampler.
Sampling: Select standard mode and press confirm. Select 10 000L of air volume and press enter key to confirm. After pressing the enter key START FOR 10 000 will appear on display. Carefully remove the cover from the sieve. Place the settle plate on the air sampler and screw the sieve head. Start the air sampler by pressing enter. Sampling should last around 10 minutes.
After air sampling is finished: Unscrew the sieve head of the air sampler. Carefully remove the agar plate and cover it with lid. Swab areas where plates have been exposed with a suitable disinfectant to remove any trace of media or condensation from the lids, which may contaminate the room.

The following sampling details should be recorded on the plate:
Transfer the contact plates into the area to be tested. Enter the area according to the procedures. Ensure that the testing area is dry.
When sampling surfaces with contact plates, remove the lid and place the agar surface in maximum contact with the sampling site for 10 seconds by applying a constant force spread evenly over the whole contact plate without twisting or sliding and avoiding the creation of bubbles. After contact with the sample surface, remove and replace the lid, avoiding any unnecessary hand movement near or over the agar surface. Clean it with disinfectant to remove any possible traces of agar.
Testing conditions: Sampling should take place at the end of a work session, but before the person would carry out any cleaning. Before performing the test the person should ensure that gloves are dry and free of any disinfectant.
Glove test: The person doing the sampling should lift the lid of the plate, with the opposite hand to that being tested, and keeping hold of the lid in the other hand, touch the agar surface with the tips of all fingers then the thumb (in the gap on the plate behind where fingers were tested) on the hand being tested. A firm and even pressure should be applied for approximately 5 to 10 seconds, taking care not to damage the agar surface. Replace the lid of the plate. Repeat for the other hand. Ensure that the glove surfaces tested are cleaned with a suitable disinfectant to remove any possible traces of agar before performing any other operations.
Gowning test: The person doing the sampling should lift the lid of the plate and keep hold of the lid, touch the gown in the chest and clavicle area with agar surface. A firm and even pressure should be applied for approximately 5 to 10 seconds, taking care not to damage the agar surface. Replace the lid of the plate. Ensure that the gown surfaces tested are cleaned with a suitable disinfectant to remove any possible traces of agar before performing any other operations.
