Replica Plating
This week in the lab, I learned a new lab skill called replica plating. Replica plating involves velvet sheets and an apparatus to hold the velvet sheet in place during the replication. Essentially, you take the colonized plate that you want to replica and lightly press it over the velvet and then you take the new plate and lightly place it over the colonies on the velvet sheet, giving you an exact replica of the colonies on a different plate. The purpose of this replica plating was to regrow our colonies on media plates that had 3AT on it.
