Fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis
Soil microbial activity research. Best-practice report (no single official standard found) with references below: record the method, quality controls, method-specific findings and result. Validate the method in your own laboratory and follow local regulations.
Guideline: Best practice - no single official standard: Adam & Duncan 2001, Soil Biol. Biochem. 33 (FDA hydrolysis method); ISO 23753 (Soil quality - dehydrogenase activity, related enzyme method). An operational enzyme activity endpoint, not a direct count of living organisms. No universal regulatory soil acceptance limit is implied. Caution: no single published official procedure was found for this method; follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and your validated laboratory SOP.

Speak patient details or findings, e.g. "patient name Ravi Kumar, age 45, mobile 98765 43210, qc: substrate-free soil blank, reagent blank and fluorescein calibration… not run". Or tap the small mic beside any box to fill only that box, then tap the next box's mic. Your browser asks for the microphone only once. Sign in as lab staff for AI understanding; here simple word matching is used.
Fill from microscope photo
Hold the phone camera to the eyepiece, use a microscope camera, or upload an image. AI suggests findings; nothing is filled until you tick and accept. Photograph only the smear - no patient labels.

Smear Camera — teach STAINIC to read FDA Hydrolysis (Soil)
Snap the smear, film or microscope field with your phone camera, or upload a microscope camera image. Photos help STAINIC learn stain patterns so it can suggest findings in future.
Mobile data / Wi-Fi
Each photo (1-12 MB) is uploaded over your internet connection. On mobile data this uses your data plan and may incur charges; prefer Wi-Fi for many photos.
How AI will use photos
Photos are kept in a separate STAINIC image library (not your storage quota) to build future recognition models. When you tap "Suggest findings", the photo is also sent to an AI model, over the internet, which proposes values; nothing is filled until you tick and accept them.
Disclaimer
Photograph only the smear / film / field — never patient names, labels, faces or documents. Photos are not linked to any patient. AI suggestions are decision-support only and must always be verified by a qualified pathologist; they are not a diagnosis or treatment advice.
