  11. GENERAL MAINTENANCE CAREFULLY READ THE MANUAL • Weekly • Wash, rinse and dry the filtration apparatus • Apply a smear of silicone grease to the black rubber O-ring • Charge the internal battery fully at the end of each week • Monthly • Check the incubator temperature and recalibrate if necessary • Check all the kit components

  12. BATTERY CAREFULLY READ THE MANUAL • Never allow the internal battery to discharge fully. • Never leave the incubator switched on for more than 18 consecutive hours • Always recharge the battery at the end of the working period in the field. • Recharge monthly during storage.

  13. 4. Summary of the bacteriological analysis process

  14. Preparation: Sterilization of equipment: (autoclave, pressure cooker, methanol, boiling) Petri: 15 min in autoclave or with methanol Filtration apparatus: 15 min with methanol Culture medium (38 gr/500 ml distilled water) Petri dishes (Up to 16 daily samples) Filtration process Filtration volume (10 ml, 50 ml,100 ml) Filtration control Incubation (16-18 H 44ºC) Counting colonies: Yellow colour (faecal coliforms)

  15. Presentation of results The results are presented as CFU/100ml CFU (Colony forming units) 100 ml of sample (treated or very clean water) have been filtered: CFU/100ml = nº of identified colonies as coliforms 50 ml of sample have been filtered: CFU/100ml = nº of identified colonies as coliforms x 2 10 ml of sample have been filtered: CFU/100ml = nº of identified colonies as coliforms x 10 It is possible to use smaller volumes in samples with higher contamination. The results should be calculated multiplying by the correspondent dilution factor.
