Ionic Silver Based Slime as an Anti-bacterial

Post by JohnJecho »

As you can see from the title, we will make slime or the anti-stress toy basing it with Ionic Silver solution which is known as an anti-bacterial. However, we are not sure how to do the Kirby-Bauer Test on the slime. On the solution, it is easy because we can use a pipette to transfer it to the 6mm filter paper and put on the Mueller-Hinton Agar plate. But on the slime, we are not sure what to do. We plan to just dip the filter paper into the slime with ionic silver since it can absorb the liquid content of slime. Any opinions? Thank you very much!

To add, we will be testing it against Staph. aureus.
