MacConkey Plate: color preference

These are two different brands of MAC. Does the “level of pinkness” really matter? One is giving off salmon pink and one is showing magenta pink. Give your honest opinion about the growth and which one is better.

BD Phoenix misidentifying ATCC 49619 as S. mitis or S. acidominimus. Anyone experienced this before?

We’re evaluating new sheep blood agar brands and we’re getting inconsistent and wrong results with BD Phoenix. Did it twice and both are wrong. I never got S. pneumoniae. Optochin test showed sensitive and I used a fresh pellet as well.

Medical Laboratory Technologist (Generalist with strong PCR background): Anyone hiring or can give referrals? Clinics or hospitals. I promise I won’t disappoint.

Recently got laid off due to cost cutting. I’m a senior handling the molecular department and trained new staffs. I got replaced by someone who accepted my role for 3k AED. Will also consider other opportunities related to healthcare or admin roles.

Looking for referrals! Medical Laboratory Technologist with 4 years of experience in the UAE.

Recently got laid off due to cost cutting. I got replaced with someone who accepted my role for 3k AED. Apparently the healthcare sector is also crumbling due to the current situation. Willing to join immediately! Will also consider other opportunities related to healthcare or office jobs!
