Condensation on BIOLOG plates

When running BIOLOG plates for 72hours @25⁰C, we got condensation of water droplets on the cover. How can one prevent this from happening? And what is the best method to transfer microorganisms...

Is this a facetotecta nauplius?

This larva was captured using a plankton net in the Persian Gulf during the summer. I believe it may be a Facetotecta nauplius.

I have some experience with biolog plates, what are your questions?

Reinhard Bachofen

we run the plates for 72 h at 25 oC, how can one avoid condensing water droplets on the cover. What is for you the best method to bring the microorganisms from rock particles into a supernatant of low optical density.

Many thanks RB
