9TH COLLECT GRADE SAMPLES LESSON 2 ESSENTIAL QUESTION What are the controlled conditions for sample collection?  How can we ensure accurate sample collection and transfer? WHEN COLLECTING SAMPLES WASH AND DRY HANDS PRIOR TO SAMPLING USE ASEPTIC TECHNIQUES WHEN TAKING MICROBIOLOGICAL SAMPLES PRE PACKAGED FOOD SAMPLES SHOULD BE COLLECTED IN AN ORIGINAL, UNOPENED PACKAGE. WHEN COLLECTING SAMPLES USE APPROPRIATE SAMPLING CONTAINERS THAT CAN WITHSTAND HANDLING AND SHIPPING SECURELY SEAL SAMPLES CONTAINERS  OPENING SAMPLE CONTAINERS FOR A BOTTLE OR CUP: REMOVE THE CAP OR LID WITH FREE HAND AND KEEP IT IN THAT HAND DURING SAMPLE COLLECTION; ONLY THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAP OR LID CAN BE TOUCHED.  OPENING SAMPLE CONTAINERS FOR A BAG: OPEN THE BAG BY USING THE TABS. DO NOT TOUCH THE OPENING OF THE BAG. DO NOT OVERFILL THE SAMPLING CONTAINER.  CLOSING SAMPLE CONTAINERS FOR A BOTTLE OR CUP: REPLACE THE CAP OR LID ON THE CONTAINER WITHOUT TOUCHING THE INSIDE OF THE CAP OR THE MOUTH OF THE BOTTLE AND SECURE THE CAP OR LID.  CLOSING SAMPLE CONTAINERS FOR A BAG: PULL THE TWIST TIES TIGHT, WHIRL THE BAG THREE REVOLUTIONS, AND FOLD THE TWIST TIES TOWARDS EACH OTHER TO SEAL THE BAG. COLLECTING ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLES WHEN COLLECTING ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLES, YOU SHOULD WEAR STERILE GLOVES. THE TYPE OF SURFACE TO BE SAMPLED AND LAB CAPABILITIES WILL DETERMINE THE TYPE OF SWAB THAT SHOULD BE USED. Are there any questions?
