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 Hook and Loop 1x3 In White PK100
The 3M Scotchmate Reclosable Fastener SJ3522 Hook and Loop Fastener Strip is a 2" wide x 10 yard long roll of hook and loop fastener material. It features adhesive backing for easy application and a high cycle life hook and loop closure that allows for repeated fastening and unfastening. This versatile fastener strip can be cut to desired lengths and adhered onto surfaces to create a reusable closure. With a temperature resistance range of -20°F to 200°F, it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The hook and loop strips securely adhere to each other, providing reliable closure strength.

Thomas Scientific 10æl Inoculating Loop, Individual Pack, Blue, 221mm, Sterile
CELLTREAT inoculating loops and needles are made from high quality polypropylene and are available in 3 styles; needle, 1µl loop and 10µl loop. The stems are flexible and can be bent to access small volume tubes and dishes and they are color-coded for easy identification. The surface of the loops and needles are vacuum-gas plasma treated, they are packaged in peel-to-open paper/plastic wrappers and are sterile (gamma irradiated). An inoculation loop, also called a smear loop or micro-streaker, is a tool used by biologists to retrieve inoculum using the phenomenon of surface tension. The loop is used to cultivate microbes by streaking agar in a petri dish or plate for subsequent growth. The size of the loop is consistent assuring accurate and repeatable transfers. CELLTREAT L-Shaped Cell Spreaders are ideal for evenly spreading bacterial cultures and are made from high quality polypropylene. They are packaged sterile (gamma irradiated) in individual or bulk, easy-to-ope
