“Medical technology is an auxiliary branch
of laboratory medicine which deals with the
examination by various chemical,
microscopic, bacteriologic, and other
medical procedures, techniques which will
aid the physician in the diagnosis, study
and treatment of disease and in the
promotion of health in general.”

- Then it can again be propagated in pure
cultures
- Then it can again be propagated in pure
