ABSTRACT:
An improved microbiological test tray is described which are provided with fasteners so that two or more of the trays may be joined together for ease in inoculation, incubation, lyophilization and reading. In another aspect of the invention an improved tray structure is described which provides openings for the flow of vapor during the lyophilization step so that a greater number of trays may be lyophilized at the same time and also that lyophilization may be carried out in a shorter period of time due to the improved vapor flow. In another aspect of the invention an improved test card is described in which the API 20 test strip is reshaped into a card of two rows of ten cupules conforming to the same pattern as other frequently used test trays. A holder tray is provided for the card and the holder is provided with connecting fasteners so that it and the test card may be joined into one or more additional test trays for ease in inoculation, incubation and reading. In still another aspect of the invention improved templates are described for use with multiply connected trays.
