Spanish term

plantillas estériles de acero inoxidable

Spanish to English Science Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-) Microbiology sampling
From a text on microbiology sampling:

El muestreo se ha llevado a cabo con mini-rodillo de fibra 100% lana tejida, empleando plantillas estériles de acero inoxidable de 100 cm2.

Can't visualise how mini-rollers fit with 100cm2 "templates".

Any help appreciated! :o)

Thanks, John. That sampling method was used by the authors in a previous paper I've found, so I guess it must be very similar. I reckon I'll go with "template" as is, or "sampling template", then. Please suggest it as an answer and I'll give you the points. :o)

I think they´re referring to a type of stencil here. See this page and download the PDF "ficha". you´ll get a good picture of one:

Have now found:
En total se han tomado 110 muestras de superficies recogido con plantilla de 100 cm...

Could it be "footprint" or similar here?
