2 Procedure (from Broth Cultures): Sterilize Inoculating Loop. Hold it over the bunsen burner flame in a vertical position until it is red hot. Then, hold it away from flame and let it cool. With sterilized inoculating loop, fish a loopful of bacterial suspension and spread evenly on marked surface on slide. Spread smear gently to make a thin film. Let smear dry in air. Sterilize loop after use. Fix the smear briefly by passing slides through the flame, film side up, 3x.
