Abstract:
A locating method and system of determining a microorganism concentration of a fluid in a Petri dish is disclosed. The Petri dish includes a culture medium on which a seeding device is rotatable relative to the Petri dish. The seeding device distributes the fluid and includes at least one point of contact with the culture medium. The point of contact is associated with a contact zone.

Claim (Index 8):
A locating method for determining the microorganism concentration of a fluid in a Petri dish with a first radius, the Petri dish containing a culture medium, the method comprising:\n depositing the fluid onto the culture medium to form a seeding line corresponding to a portion of the first radius of the Petri dish; distributing the fluid contained in the seeding line onto the culture medium by means of a seeding device rotating relative to the Petri dish, the seeding device comprising at least one point of contact with the culture medium; incubating the Petri dish to permit the growth of the microorganisms on the culture medium; and identifying adjacent locating zones to locate the presence of microorganisms on the culture medium, the locating zones covering at least part of the surface of the Petri dish and in which a first locating zone is delimited by the seeding line and a zone boundary line delimiting a same distance travelled on the culture medium by each point of contact of the seeding device starting from the seeding line.
