Split and merge into it. Answer by Tantkowiak. Confidence votes 58. Pour plating is a method of separating one species of bacteria from another by diluting one loopful of organism into three liquefied nutrient agar plates, with the hopes that one of the plates poured will provide an ideal sample for isolation.
Common practice is to perform the 1:100 dilution, perform a pour plate of 1 mL in duplicate and if 2 colonies grow on each plate, the product fails specification. This common practice is scientifically unsupportable â it confused the Limit of Detection with the Limit of Quantification for the plate count method.n this analysis, plates with more than 400 CFU were unsatisfactory, as were those of less than 30 CFU, with best results in the range of 50-200 CFU/plate.
