  7. ASEPTIC TECHNIQUE

  8. I. Contaminants A. Bacteria, fungi, and insects B. Initial contaminants C. Latent or persistent contamination D. Introduced contamination E. Detection of contaminants

  9. THE TRANSFER HOOD • The hood should remain on • Necessary items present, unnecessary things removed • Check the bottom of the hood for blockage • Wash hands

  10. THE TRANSFER HOOD • Spray or wipe the inside of the transfer hood • Wipe hands and lower arms with 70% EtOH • Remove dangling sleeves and jewelry

  11. Sterilization and use of supplies and equipment • Know which of your implements, flasks, etc. are sterile and which are not • Monitor autoclave time • Sterilized items should be used within a short time • Items that come packaged sterile should be examined carefully for damage before use

  12. Sterilizing tools, vessels etc. • Autoclaving • Ethylene oxide gas • UV radiation • Dry heat • Microwave

  13. Working in the transfer hood: • Work well back in the transfer hood • Make sure that materials in use are to the side of your work area, so that airflow from the hood is not blocked • Instruments (scalpels, forceps) can be sterilized by flaming or immersion in hot beads

  14. Working in the transfer hood: • Plant material should be placed on a sterile surface when manipulating it in the hood • Remove items from the hood as soon as they are no longer needed • When transferring plant cultures, do contaminated cultures last.

  15. Working in the transfer hood: • When finished in the hood, clean up after yourself. • Be sure when you are finished that you turn off the gas to the burner • It is pointless to practice good sterile technique in a dirty lab

  16. Surface-sterilizing plant material • Care of stock plants • Alcohol • Bleach • Calcium hypochlorite • Mercuric chloride • Hydrogen peroxide • Rinsing

  17. In the media • Use of antibiotics and fungicides • Plant Preservative Mixture • Rinsing
