Could you use a pipette to transfer 20ml molten agar into a petri dish?

Answer 1

Using a pipette to transfer 20ml of molten agar into a petri dish is not advisable, as pipettes are typically designed for transferring small volumes of liquid, usually less than 10ml. The viscosity of molten agar can also make it challenging to transfer with a standard pipette. Instead, it is better to use a graduated cylinder or a similar tool designed for larger volumes to ensure accurate and efficient pouring.
