Interpretation of decontamination results | ||
Plate | Expected carbenicillin titer | If not? |
Pre-infection control | 0 | Cells were pre-infected; nothing can be concluded from the experiment. |
Contamination control | lawn | Insufficient contamination to be able to assess efficacy of subsequent decontamination; consider submerging manifold in phage solution rather than aspirating it. |
Decontamination test | 0 | Decontamination not complete; increase soak time, bleach concentration or try SDS and EtOH washes instead. |
