Endotoxins
Hi. I am translating a scientific paper entitled 'Evaluation of the exposure to airborne endotoxins in several working environments'. After the sampling, they proceed with the analysis. I am a bit stuck with this sentence: 'Per il prelievo sono state utilizzate piastre rodac riempite con terreno agarizzato Plate Count Agar'. How do I translate 'terreno agarizzato'? Thanks
