There are several modern technical instruments and equipment, which are used in the analysis:

1- automated spiral plater:
It is a microprocessor-controlled dispenser, which deposits a liquid sample in a spiral pattern onto a surface of a rotating agar plate.

2- Casba 4:
It is combines a high-resolution CCD line scanner &specialized windows-based software to count microbial colonies on agar plates, it is based on colony image analysis.

3- Vitek system:
It is a diagnostic instrument, which is diagnosing microbes present in the sample, based on the biochemical tests.
