How does adding the sterile mineral oil affect the specificity or the sensitivity of the Decarboxylation Test?
When you add mineral oil for Decarboxylation test you do not need a thick layer of oil, you only need enough to cover the surface of the medium. This promotes fermentation by locking out oxygen, and it also prevents false alkalinization at the surface of the medium. Hopefully my answer can help you. =)

Is it wfi used for inplace of lal reagent water?

Are sterile water and sterile distilled water the same?
no. Distilled water has had all chemicals and minerals removed, usually by steaming and re-condensation. Sterile water has been treated, usually heat treated, to destroy pathogens (any living organisms). So, you can sterilize distilled water, but not all distilled water is sterile. manufacturing criteria do NOT require that regular distilled water be packaged to prevent contamination. Water sold as sterile water must be packaged to avoid contamination. On the other hand, water full of minerals can be sterilized; the minerals are still present. So if you want mineral free, organism free water, you need sterile distilled; if just mineral free, distilled.

How do you do a sputum smear?
A sputum smear is done to check for pathogenic microbes. A sensitivity test should be also done to check to see what antibiotic or drug can control that microbe. This done by taking some sputum from a patient and smearing a small amount that has been diluted with saline on to a slide. A sterile "hockey" shaped glass instrument is used or another sterile slide using the end.
