The job of the microbiology laboratory is to accurately, firmly and rapidly identify the responsible agents at the species level, and to identify their antimicrobial resistance patterns. Therefore, standard microbiological methods remain consistent in providing rapid identification and susceptibility testing.
Accordingly, with the use of Baccininator as a preventive method, the elimination of cross-contamination by contact or splashing is achieved, and the sterilization of small instruments such as needles, planting handles or forceps is achieved, as there is a growing need. for faster and more reliable laboratory results.
In this regard, the significant advances made in the field of instruments, reagents and techniques have provided adjustment to important changes in the context of clinical bacteriology, e.g., the increased use of microbiology tests and the shortage of qualified personnel.
Benefits of use
The Bacticinerator is a sterilization equipment that provides great benefits for laboratories, designed for the search of solutions and disinfections of inorganic compounds. Through temperature control and thermocouple feedback, they are useful for microbiological assays, allowing a user interface for programming parts, for uses such as gradual increase, soaking or disinfection, among others.
It is formed by a cylindrical cavity, bordered by embedded heating ducts, in an insulating thermal center. This equipment is used in laboratories for rapid purification with less risk of contamination, replacing the burners. Its operation is performed for different materials, such as inoculation handles, inoculated needles, tweezers, among others. They also have benefits that contribute during the whole incineration process, avoiding the aerosolization of materials present in the bacteriological circuits.
Tools used by Baccininerator
Generally, handles are part of the instruments for Baccininerator use, are capable of carrying a fair volume of sample and are still the most recommended method by many microbiology laboratories. The accuracy and precision of these instruments must be certified by the supplier, since in case of an inadequate sample transfer, the result of a study reported by the expert could lead to misinterpretations, resulting in an inappropriate diagnosis.
The handles for sample transfer should be measured given the need to clearly know the inoculated sample volumes, and should be obtained in a sterile state, or sterilizable through the use of the Baccininator, without compromising its performance. The amount of inoculum to be transferred is determined by the diameter of the final ring of the filament, which is calibrated and normally ranges between 0.01 and 0.001 ml.
The bacteriological loop, platinum loop or also called Kolle loop (Wilhem Kolle 1868-1935), is a tool used by bactericinerators in the laboratory, which consists of a base that can be platinum, steel, aluminum and a filament that can be nichrome, tungsten or platinum finished or in 5 mm joint or pointed. It is also useful for swabbing.
