The weight (volume) of inoculate applied with Semenikhina's replicator stamp with 1, 2, and 3-mm needles is determined. The method is sufficiently precise for microbiological screenings. The volume of inoculate depends on the diameter and geometrical shape of the needle and characteristics of inoculated substance and surface onto which it is applied.
