McIntosh and Filde's anaerobic jar: production of anaerobic conditions for organisms that die in the presence of even little oxygen (anaerobiosis), e.g. tetanus bacteria Microscope: to observe microscopic specimens that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Microtitre plates: mostly used for ELISA: Microtome: cuts prepared specimens for analysis ...

[7] Human coronavirus 229E and human coronavirus OC43 continued to be studied in subsequent decades.
The culture: The culture media are placed inside the jar, stacked up one on the other, and; Indicator system: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, inoculated on to a nutrient agar plate is kept inside the jar along with the other plates. This bacteria need oxygen to grow . A growth free culture plate at the end of the process indicates a successful ...
