Abstract:
A microtiter plate format previously reported for the biochemical characterization of microorganisms was modified by adding agar to all of the different test media instead of using a combination of liquid and solid media. This modification, termed the Modified Microtiter Plate procedure (MMP), offered the same advantages of the original method (labor saving, inexpensive, and custom designed for special needs) as well as having the added advantages of longer term storage prior to use and ease of handling. In this study, 60 bacterial isolates (both Listeria suspects and known Listeria cultures) were biotyped using the MMP protocol and compared to results obtained using the classical tube-based US-FDA recommended protocol as the standard identification method and the BBL-Minitek system.

Modified Boxplots
However, the box plot does not tell the reader about outliers - values that lie far from the center of the data. We can modify the standard box and whisker plot to identify the outliers and visualize the actual spread of the data in a sample.
Initially, we calculate the adjusted...
Column Efficiency: Plate Theory
A higher number of theoretical plates signifies better column efficiency and improved separation capabilities. Plate height affects bandwidth and separation quality; it is inversely...
Electric Field of Parallel Conducting Plates
Consider a cross-section of a thin, infinite conducting plate having a positive charge. For such a large thin plate, as the thickness of the plate tends to zero, the positive charges lie on the plate's two large faces. Without an external electric field, the...
