When the medium is inoculated with a small inoculum, gas production is not evident. Spray recommended that the medium should be taken directly from the Sterilizer or should be boiled for 10 minutes to drive off dissolved oxygen and cooled without agitation. Serial inoculations are made and the medium is poured into plates. After solidification, 5 ml sterile liver veal agar is poured over the medium as a cover layer to prevent the spreading of surface colonies.
