How to Streak plate using KWIK-STIK™
The Streak Plate Method is recommended for isolating individual bacterial or fungal colonies. It can be used when starting with a Microbiologics product such as a KWIK-STIK™ or when simply sub-culturing a colony from one agar plate to another. Freshly isolated colonies should be used when performing biochemical, genetic, or antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Please note, the below instructions demonstrate the streak plating technique with Microbiologics KWIK-STIK™.
