Title: Re: Compare and contrast the spread plate method and the pour plate method of doing Post by: chemb on Apr 17, 2012 one benefit to the pour plate method is that larger volumes of cells can be dispensed. Many cells cannot withstand the warm temperature of molten agar (~45—50°C)
and therefore must be spread on top of an agar plate. Colonies are easier to enumerate on a two- rather than three-dimensional surface that favors the spread plate technique over the pour plate method. |
