Two factors heavily influence the level of cleanliness required for a particular fomite and, hence, the protocol chosen to achieve this level. The first factor is the application for which the item will be used and the second factor is the level of resistance to antimicrobial treatment by potential pathogens.

Make sure to mark on the bottom of your plate which half of the plate was exposed to UV light and incubate them at 37°C. To test the effectiveness of a chemical against pathogens, glass beads are coated with bacteria, exposed to different concentrations of germicides, and finally transferred to a growth medium.
