1. Clean all the inner surfaces of the inoculation chamber with 75% ethanol.
2. Place everything that will be needed at the laminar flow cabinet; that is, all the flaks to be
transferred from (flaks transfer) and the flaks contains sterilized media to be transferred
to (new flaks).Turn off the lights. Turn on the small stove.
3. Remove the cover from one transfer and one new flaks. Turn on the neck of each flaks by
turning the neck slowly through the flame.
4. Use a 1000 ml flaks. Tilt the flaks neck transfer to the new flaks. Put 100 ml of BG II media
- modified and 1 ml of trance metal solution into a new flaks. Add sterile distilled water
to reach 900ml then transfer about 100 ml of microalgae (This volume might change
based on density of original culture). Avoid touching the neck of both flasks. Never touch
the stopper that is inserted into the flaks.
5. Replace the cover above the new flaks neck. By using a waterproof marker, label the new
flaks with algae species inoculated and the transfer date.
6. Repeated procedures for all flakss in the laminar flow cabinet. When finished, turn off the
stove and open the laminar flow cabinet.
