I need advice:
I am attempting to conduct a small experiment to determine the
presence of common human pathogens on various surfaces.
Since I do not have a lab, I would like to know the most efficient and
practical method of culturing and identifying microorganisms. Would it
be best to send swabs to a lab somewhere or is there a kit which would
allow me to do this "in house" ?
I would also appreciate learning the approximate costs associated with
a kit or lab service (I'm doing this by myself.)
Thanks,
Alexander Jason
