1.5.2 Aseptically place the test plate (i.e., 90 mm TSA plate) on the media stage as follows:
NOTE: Gloved hands should be cleaned with secondary disinfectant and allowed to dry immediately
prior to performing these steps.
1.5.3 Remove the sample inlet cover by rotating in counter clockwise (Fig A) and then raise the
inlet cover just high enough to place the test plate on the media stage and remove its lid (Fig
B). Without inverting, place the lid of the test plate face down on a pre-sanitized surface
next to the P100.
Fig A Fig B
NOTE: Removing and holding the inlet cover only a few inches directly over the test plate holder
will minimize the chance of contaminants settling on the sanitized components under the
inlet cover and on the test plate during this manipulation.
1.5.4 Place the inlet cover down over the test plate and rotate clockwise to lock it onto the inlet
cover base (Fig A). Assure that the inlet cover is properly locked and seated on the inlet
base.
