During the preparation of a bacterial smear, it is crucial to use sterile techniques to avoid contamination. Use a sterile inoculating loop to transfer a small amount of culture onto a clean slide, and ensure the smear is thin and evenly spread. When heat-fixing, gently pass the slide through a flame to adhere the bacteria to the slide without burning them, as excessive heat can distort cellular structures. Always wear gloves and goggles to protect yourself from potential biohazards.
no i have had a pair of the same kind of gloves for almost 2 years now and they are probably the best investment in gloves i have ever made. The grip will seem to wear off after a week or two but that's only because there dirt on them. All you need to do is throw them in the washer and let them air dry. You can also just rinse them off with water during a game or practice but it wont regain as much grip as the washer. Well anyways goodluck during the season and i hope the gloves work for you.
