VR Preparation of Culture Media for Inoculation
Overview
This VR module simulates the complete process of preparing microbiological culture media from selecting the correct medium to sterilizing, pouring plates, and preparing for inoculation. The experience trains learners in aseptic technique and laboratory accuracy without risks or material costs.
Learning Objectives
- Identify different types of culture media and their applications.
- Prepare nutrient agar, broth, or specialized media inside a virtual microbiology lab.
- Measure, mix, and adjust pH of culture media accurately.
- Operate a virtual autoclave and practice sterilization procedures.
- Pour sterile agar plates under aseptic conditions.
- Differentiate between media types and understand microbial growth requirements.
What Students Experience in VR
- Weighing dehydrated agar powder and measuring distilled water.
- Mixing media, adjusting pH, and sterilizing with an autoclave simulation.
- Dispensing, pouring sterile plates, and working under aseptic conditions.
- Labeling and organizing media for subsequent inoculation steps.
Step-by-Step VR Procedure
1
Selecting the Appropriate Medium
Explore media options and choose based on use-case.
2
Gathering and Measuring Materials
Weigh agar powder, measure water, and prepare components precisely.
3
Adjusting the pH
Use a virtual pH meter and adjust with acids/bases as needed.
4
Dispensing and Sterilizing
Dispense into vessels and autoclave with correct parameters.
5
Pouring Agar Plates
Cool and pour plates aseptically under a hood or flame.
6
Labeling and Storage
Label plates with medium and date; store inverted to prevent condensation.
