I’m a new microbiology student and I’ll do this for my tomorrow’s lab 😅 I was confused but thanks god I found this video
We love helping new micro enthusiasts! Feel free to browse our other tutorials for your class too!
"Thank God you found this video "

What's your country name?
@@mdraihan1582 I’m from the US, California
its so wild how a lot of ppl commenting here r college students or professionals n here i am watching this for our lab activity in my high school biology class. cool video, helps a lot
Very helpful. I have a "unknown bacterium" assignment that starts today. This really helped bc I already forgot you have to sterilize the loop between streaking...
thank you for saving my ee broski 🙏🙏
I love microbiology and honestly its just so satisfying to watch people streak plate
I'm doing a microbiology project that involves e. Coli K-12 plating and im so excited
Nina, we love projects for the tiny humans! Please feel free to reach out to your local sales rep for product, we'd love to help out the next generation of micro-microbiologists!
So useful description, thanks a lot 👏🏻
Glad it was helpful!
It's self explanatory and the visuals, helps for easy remembrance.
Thanks.
You are very welcome. I am glad our video was useful for you.
Yesteday I streaked a Petri dish for the first time in my life. I've watched this video before doing it and it really helped me 🧫 Thank you 😊
That's wonderful. Glad it helped!
This was so much fun when I did it, microbiology was my literal favorite class my first semester of college
Glad to hear it! Keep on learning!
I really appreciate you sir.
I didn't know I have place it in the heat everything I learned something new. Thanks
We're always here to help you learn! We have a great Technical Services team should you ever have questions!
This is an excellent video. Thanks, Hardy for showing us how this is properly done. Much more to it that a squiggle of bugs on a petri plate!
Glad it helped!
As required by law, I’m disclosing that I was employed by Hardy Diagnostics at the time of this comment.
@@DanTheisen what did you sign that told you to disclose this info?
I don’t recall where I saw it but this is, as far as I know, meant to prevent large companies from having their employees promote their products as if they are customers. I have not signed anything from the company compelling either a comment or a disclaimer about the comment. The law as I read it made sense to me from a consumer protection point of view, which is why I happily added it.
@@DanTheisen ahh I see, thanks for the reply. Have a good day!
I’m not a teacher or a student… why am I so fascinated with this? 😂
I mean we can't blame you, we do this for a living. Our whole lives are this, welcome to the obsession!
Who are you 🤣😂
I'm a passer-by as well and I am entranced ❤️
Perfect!!
It's well explained.wow
I learnt this method today in my microbiology lab.
That's great Ayesha! Keep up the proper four quadrant streak method, you will be a pro in no time!
Gorgeous explanation 💥❤️
Thank you, glad you liked it!
Will there be a video available that talks about the microscope and Khoeler illumination? Unfortunately, part of the practical microbiology and laboratory sessions were taken in times of pandemic. Likewise, I would greatly appreciate if you could explain how the UFC colony counter works. Your explanations are great!
Thank you 🙌🙌🙌
Excellent explanation ❤
I am glad our video was useful for to you.
My universities professor , didn’t tech to put the petri disk , up side down when going into incubator. Thank you for sharing.
Oh no! When media is incubated "upside down" like that, with the media facing upwards, condensation can accumulate on the face of the agar and inhibit proper growth and developing colonies. If you invert your plates, you'll definitely have better-looking plates than the rest of your class!
It's absolutely Amazing sir.
Thanks, it's our pleasure.
I'm a college instructor and I'm sending this video to my students before they do their first-ever cultures!
We love our instructors and our students! Feel free to reach out to us should you need materials for your students as well!
Well as an instructor why don't you show your students this yourself? Isn't this supposed to be your job to teach? It would be alot better. I really dislike and hate how college so called instructors and lecturers are relying so much on youtube videos instead of doing the work themselves.
I did streak some plates myself, which came in handy later. However, a nice TH-cam video they could watch the night before was also really helpful. To make up for your previous instructors who didn't explicitly show you enough things, I will now show you how to spell the phrases "so-called" and "a lot."
thanks a lot, i hope, my thesis will be finisih
I'm medical laboratory technician(MLT) and 11 lecture is included for simple technique in tomorrow thank you for this video
I appreciate it 🤩
You are welcome, I am glad the video was helpful. Keep up the great work as a MLT. You are important.
Please can I see a video that will teach me more on how to carry out indoor air quality using SDA and PDA
Don’t know how I got here at 1am but it was fascinating and informative if I ever need to know this I’m covered😁
Welcome down the rabbit hole of microbiology, Mantha! We've got a whole channel of videos if you ever need more obscure information to get you even more hooked 😃!
Today may microbiology practical exam it's help alot!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
Glad to hear the video was useful. You are very welcome. Good luck with your exam. You will do great!
Thank you sir very nice video... Pls upload more videos
Yes, stay tuned. More video are on the way!
I love my major ❤
I'm in an IT MSc but this is perfect ASMR
Love it! That's a whole new industry we should break into!
Wish I seen this 2 weeks ago when I had a test!
...nevertheless.. I just subscribed ☺️
Welcome to the online Hardy family! Stay tuned for more great content soon to come!
How do you report colony growth on a 4 way streaking? along with its size, shape, transparency, consistency, and color.. Thanks
I do this every day for the hospital I work at :)
That's great! Heroes wear lab coats not capes. Which hospital do you work at?
@@HardyDx boundaries Dwight!
Thank you
You're welcome.
thank you
You're welcome.
Nice one
Thanks for watching
Great vid, I've a question though. Why is the media red in color? Is there a different type of agar used?
It's probably blood agar medium, blood added to regular nutrient agar medium
Nangsanbhalang Blah, Great question about the coloration of the agar! This was streaked on our Blood Agar, an all-purpose growth agar with hemolytic properties. Some organisms will hemolyze the blood in the agar, leaving clear zones around the colonies, something we won't see on traditional TSA. Hope that helps!
Quand utiliser la methode en stries?
*ثانكيو* 🦦
If i accidentally tore the surface of the agar using the loop during streaking, will the bacteria colonies still able to grow?
Colonies will still grow, yes. However, it is usually best to restart on a fresh plate as the puncture could lead to difficulties in reading/counting colonies or could cause unwanted areas of heavy growth. Don't worry though! Marring the surface is extremely common, especially in beginners. Keep practicing and you'll be able to do it as if it were nothing!
Watching this after I took my lab practical exam, and I definitely fucked it up
Can we not streak circular on plate instead of streaking zig zag? I'm curious
There is an instrument that does streak with a plastic "comb" after pipetting a volume on a plate and it does make circles ... The Previ Isola
Bdw i think this must be carried out inside a laminar air flow
Watching them tear up the agar like that was a bit painful ngl
What do we call the thing she used to flame the loop ? 😅
I'm curious too. I'm working with unicellular fungi and bacteria since time, streaking them to isolate but it's the first time ever I'm seeing that instrument.
It is called a bacticinerator :)
@@vanessadang4674 Thank you!
@Mohan The tube the loop was inserted into is a special type of sterilizer. Placing non-sterile metal loops into this tube for a few seconds will sterilize these loops so you can re-use these again and again. Hope that answers your questions!
@@vanessadang4674 wow .thank you
Hello, I'm a microbiologist and a content creator on Instagram educating microbiologists in Arabic, can I translate your video and post it on my account? with sharing your video link of course. thank you.
Yes, that would be fine as long you tag and credit Hardy Diagnostics in your video description and link it back to the original video. Keep up the great work in microbiology.

5 method of preparing specimen
A++++
how to get a job or internship of microbiology in europe. I have done bachelor in microbiology and working in a restaurant since 4 years. Did not even get any inernship. Already forgot all the techniques and skills in these 4 years . sad sad
Build a portfolio of your interests and maybe your thesis paper too. It's hard to get an internship now

I thought the title said steak
For God so loved the world that He gave His one & only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, But to save the world through Him. (John 3:16-17)✝️
