How to incubate the Flexicult™ Test
- Tests must be incubated overnight in an incubator designed for this purpose. A good option is the small Cultura® M Incubator.
- Tests should be incubated at 35°Centigrade. (The upper acceptable temperature is 37°Centigrade).
- The Flexicult test should be placed into the incubator with the bottom of the test facing upwards and the lid down.
- Note the temperature of the incubator when the tests are put in the incubator and when they are removed.
- The test should be incubated overnight (18-24 hours). Read the test after the incubation period.
- Once the test has been read, it can be disposed of in your usual clinical waste bin.
