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.
Mitegen M5-L18SP-300LD, MicroLoops LD; box of 20 with 300 micron aperture loops; mounted on 18 mm rods
Simplify crystal harvesting, and obtain the best possible data from your crystals, using the most advanced lithographic cryo-loops available. Composed of X-ray transparent material, crystals can be mounted directly on the loops, reducing excess fluid, preventing damage, and making getting the crystals out of the drop easier. MiTeGen crystal mounts come in various styles and aperture sizes that allow for various approaches in choosing the right crystal mount for your application. LD (Low Disturbance) mounts offers a way to harvest crystals with minimal disturbance in the fluid. Our mounts are hand made and inspected, packed into boxes of 20, traditionally on 18mm pins.

Alkali Scientific Inoculating Needles, Rigid ABS (50 Sterile Peel Bags of 20 Needles), 1000/cs
These sterile, rigid ABS, disposable plastic needles are designed for use in quantitative procedures such as sampling, urine counts and serial dilutions, as well as for bacterial inoculation. Because they are pre-sterilized and designed for single use, there is no risk of cross contamination and no need for flaming. These inoculating needles are flexible enough for streaking, yet rigid enough for subsurface inoculation. The unique hexagonal shape of the shaft makes it easier to grip, orientate and guide through a smooth streaking process. The loop surfaces are extremely smooth with no rough edges and no flashing or burrs on the loop head. This results in the elimination of cutting or gouging of the agar surface. sterile, disposable and verifiably accurate, these inoculation needles provide an efficient, cost-effective and time-saving alternative to traditional metallic needles.

Arben Bioscience Inc Quadloop Sphere with 10 ul calibrated loop, Sterile, 1000 per Box
Quadloop Inoculation Loops Quadloop Sphere with 10 ul calibrated loop, Sterile, 20 per Peel-apart Pouch, 1000 per Box Save time and money with the Quadloop inoculation device. One side has a traditional calibrated 10 l or 1l loop or a picking needle. The other side features our unique, patented sphere which allows dilution streaking with one device instead of 4 loops. Simply rotate the handle one-quarter turn after each streaking. There is no need to change loops or sterilize between steps. The Quadloop sphere glides effortlessly across the agar surface without gouging or plowing! Safer and easier than metal loops! No need to flame, these disposable loops are already sterile Save time when dilution streaking - no need to change loops Accurate calibrated loops at the opposite end
