The first food microbiology laboratory materials that come to mind are glass materials (Petri dishes, pipettes, measuring cylinders, balloons, tubes, conical flasks, Drigalski spatulas, beakers, bottles, etc.), metal materials (spatulas, grafting loops and needles, etc.), plastic materials ( disposable petri dishes, etc.), bunsen burners, tube spores and baskets, etc. and materials for cleaning and disinfection, various paint and solution containers, different thermometers and manometers are special-purpose containers. In addition to these, special containers to hold dirty materials, medium and chemical cabinets, glassware cabinets, and sterile material cabinets are also among the essential equipment of the food microbiology laboratory.
The food microbiology laboratory investigates and counts the presence of different microorganism groups such as total bacteria count, coliform test and mold-yeast count, obtains the analysis results usually after a few days, multiplies the pathogens in billions in the working environment (albeit in a closed environment) and has a unique discipline.
