Summary: This is a technique for isolating phage from agar plates. When working with lytic phage, well-isolated, cleared areas in a lawn of bacteria (called plaques) are removed from the agar (by coring with a sterile pipette) and used to infect fresh bacteria in liquid medium. The lysed culture can be used for a new plaque assay after 0.2 um filtering to remove residual bacteria. New phage are "plaque-purified" a minimum of three times before they are considered to be free of other phage.
