Abstract
A device for culturing and identifying microorganisms comprising a transparent vessel with a sealable cover, a nutrient substrate carrier that can be coated with a novel growth medium and a method of using the same are disclosed. A plurality of nutrient substrates may be applied to the nutrient substrate carrier and separated into distinct zones so that a variety of microorganisms may be tested for. The method comprises innoculating the nutrient substrate with a liquid sample and incubating the nutrient substrate so that the microorganisms can be identified by visual observation of the color change of the substrate through the transparent vessel.
