1. A method of testing a sample, comprising:
providing a sample testing apparatus including a sample tray and a lid member sealed to the sample tray about at least a portion of a perimeter thereof to define a pouch, wherein the sample tray includes a planar surface and a plurality of wells recessed relative to the planar surface, the plurality of wells including a group of first wells arranged to define a matrix and a group of second wells each defining an elongated configuration; and
introducing a predetermined volume of a liquid sample into the pouch of the sample testing apparatus; and
sealing the lid member to the sample tray to seal each of the plurality of wells such that each first well is filled to capacity with a first portion of the liquid sample, such that a remainder of the liquid sample is evenly distributed into the second wells, and such that a volume of liquid sample distributed into each of the second wells is less than a volume capacity of each of the second wells.
