Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for partitioning a sampling region on a solid surface and a method for collecting a microbial sample from a solid surface, in which an optimal sampling region is partitioned on a solid surface using a light source without bringing the solid surface into direct contact with a ruler or a partitioning tool. With the apparatus and method, a solid surface can be prevented from being contaminated during partitioning process, accuracy of sampling operation can be increased, partitioning operation can be continuously performed in a simple manner, and cost of sampling operation can be reduced.
