Inoculating Loops and Needles
Devices used for inoculation, serial dilution, sterile sampling, sample transfer, and microbiological sample spreading; available in materials such as polymers, aluminum, and other metals. Includes disposable and color-coded products.
Inoculating loops and needles (sometimes called microstreakers or inoculating wands) are hand-held devices for inoculating plated or tubed growth media with micro-organisms such as bacteria or yeasts prior to incubation, multiplication, and growth. The inoculum is typically streaked onto, or stabbed into, solid agar-based media, or simply introduced and dispersed into liquid media. Inoculating loops and needles are also useful for sampling and transferring small quantities of micro-organism prior to further analysis, microscopic examination, or serial dilution.
Inoculating loops and needles consist of a handle with a terminal loop or needle that is designed to pick up and transfer a small quantity of inoculum (typically 1 to 10 μL) from a donor culture to the growth medium of choice. Some loops are calibrated and color-coded to transfer semi-quantitative amounts of inoculum.
Grainger Heavy Duty Recalibratable Gauge
The Haltec Heavy Duty Recalibratable 140X95 is a heavy duty load cell with a 140 ton capacity and a 95 mm diameter. It features a stainless steel construction and hermetically sealed design for protection against harsh environments. The load cell has a 0.05% accuracy with an adjustable zero balance. It can be used for compression or tension applications such as silos, bins, and hoppers. The load cell has a rugged design and is ideal for industrial weighing applications. It requires an excitation voltage of 10V DC and provides an output of 2mV/V. The load cell should be installed properly to ensure optimum performance. Regular calibration is recommended.
