Sampling

Sampling in microbiology is the process of collecting specimens from various sources for analysis and testing. Environmental sampling involves collecting samples from air, water, soil, or surfaces to detect microbial contamination. Clinical sampling is used to obtain specimens from humans or animals, such as blood, urine, or tissues, for diagnostic purposes. Food and beverage sampling checks products for microbial safety and quality. Water sampling monitors microbial presence in drinking water, pools, and industrial processes. Proper sampling techniques are crucial to ensure accurate results and avoid contamination of the samples.
