microbiology

I did some blood protein work years ago and I recall we would always pour the agar powder into the "broth" in an Erlenmyer an just keep it from clumping. Then when we autoclaved it the agar went into a colloidal soln.

THEN, the important part was to make the plates and store them upside down after setting down to 40 C(I think it was that high)

Thanks farmerman,that was really helpful
