The recent various applications of phages (bacteriophages) including phage therapy have brought about a revival of phage investigation. The phage titer assay is indispensable for phage experiments. However, the conventional standard method is a plaque counting method which requires a little skill with tedious repeating operation. Furthermore, it is not directly applicable to high phage titers. In this paper, we describe a novel convenient "cross streak and paper disk assay method" for high titer concentration without plaque counting.
