Abstract

A system (100), methods and apparatuses for transferring a primary medium (7) after incubating of the medium (7) are described. The system (100) includes a container (1) for containing a growth medium (7) and a sample (8) to be tested for the presence of target microorganisms. A system (100) for transferring a primary medium (7) after incubating of the medium (7) is also described. The system (100) includes an automated pouring mechanism for automatically pouring the primary medium (7) into a plurality of media receiving vessels (11) and a metering mechanism for metering the amount of medium (7) poured into each media receiving vessel (11). An automated tilting apparatus (20) tilts the container (1) to actuate pouring of a predetermined amount of the medium (7) from the container (1) into the media receiver (11). An apparatus (20) for automatically transferring medium (7) for collection and testing of microorganisms is also described. It includes an automated tilting apparatus (20) for automatically tilting the container (1) to actuate pouring of a predetermined amount of medium (7) from the container (1) into a media receiver (11). A container (1) for transferring medium (7) for collection and testing of microorganisms is also described. A manifold (12) for controlling the flow of a primary medium (7) transferred from a from a container (1) to a receptacle vessel (11) is also described.
