Abstract

The replicating pad of the present invention has a generally planar body and a plurality of integrally formed pins extending downwardly from the body. Each pin corresponds to one of a plurality of samples. The replicating pads are adapted to be used to create a larger density array from a smaller density array. A plurality of pads, each having the same number of pins, are used in association with the same destination plate until a predetermined number of colonies are replicated. Thereafter a pad is used having the predetermined number of colonies. These steps may be repeated until a destination plate of the required density is created. In another aspect of the invention a replicating device is adapted to be used in association with a replicating pad having a plurality of pins extending downwardly.
