Synchronous MIC

Do MIC test of Salmonella spp today (both tubes and microplate). Unsurprisingly it took me much more time to prepare the serial diluted honey and cultures (roughly 2 hr longer than usual). Consequently today's lunch time is around 3:00(!). Just before running micrplate reader (the "icebox" one), the reader somehow doesn't response to its software. Consulting Kerry, she changed lamp in the reader and it came to alive again. Next time I can do it myself!
