High concentration agar is difficult to work with.

  • Tends to boil over, so needs a lot of water in the autoclave pan
  • Hard to get into solution - frequently needs re-autoclaving
  • So viscous that bubbles don't rise to the surface

So

  • mix the ingredients that can't be autoclaved in as little water as possible
  • Only use high concentration stock solutions for micro-ingredients
