Abstract: Reader and plate methods, operations, and systems for observing a biological sample are shown and described. In one embodiment, a reader device includes selecting a plate type between at least two plate type selections on a user interface. One embodiment includes aligning a peel plate within a tray holder nest to define a semi-fixed processing position. One embodiment includes transporting a peel plate from a loading position into a focal alignment with an imaging device for monitoring biological growth, when present.

Abstract: A method of preparing for analysis of a sample is shown and described. In one embodiment, the method includes soaking at least one sample collector in an apyrase solution, and removing the apyrase solution. The result is preparing the sample collector by removing adenosine triphosphate from the sample collector.
