Most Handmade Yeast Frogging Plates Prepared In A Single Sitting
Michael Smith prepared 19 frog plates by hand in a single sitting. He performed the feat in the Rose Lab at Princeton University.
Each frog plate is a 96-well plate with strains of yeast at the top, diluted down the lanes. Each frog plate was plated onto at least two plates to confirm growth (-URA and -URA Galactose). Professor Mark Rose was present to witness the achievement.
