Define Agar Syringe/Agar Sausage Method?
Agar syringe method involves 100 ml syringe, which is filled with agar. A layer of agar is pushed beyond the end of the barrel by means of a plunger and pressed against the surface to be examined. The exposed agar layer is cut, incubated and examined for colony count. In agar sausage method, plastic tubing is used instead of a modified syringe.
