-it was noted on 03/23/16 that loading 20ul onto the membrane filter paper discs took a very long time, and resulted in slight leakage when placed onto the plate, this time only load 10ul and see if there is still inhibition as to lessen the load on the filter paper discs
Note that this technique was conducted on the benchtop. Between each loading of a disc on a plate, the tweezers used were washed with EtOH to minimize contamination. However, the plates were open to the air for a period of time during plating and loading of discs. Because we are testing for bacterial inhibition by the nanoparticles and control, if there is contamination, but inhibition we may never know that there was contamination in the first place. Discussed with Dr. Hartings and protocol was approved. Checking the discs
