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.
Research Products International Corp SmartPicks, Standard, Semi Point, 2.5 inches long, 1600 per case
smartPicks Wooden Inoculation are manufactured of naturally biodegradable 100% USA grown white birch, autoclavable and naturally biodegradable. Available in both a semi-pointed and needle pointed tip for various applications. Short 1.28" tips are ideal for use with 1.5 ml micro-tubes.
Research Products International Corp Inoculating Loops 1ul, Blue, 1000/cs
High impact polystyrene loops and needles are smooth and flexible to facilitate uniform and smooth streaking without damaging the gel surface. Needles are straight and suitable for removal of specimens of single colonies. Packed sterile in safe, tamper proof, zip-seal resealable bags.
Disposable inoculating loops and needles do not need flaming and thus eliminate the risk of infection due to aerosol formation of pathogenic substances. Cross-contamination due to improper sterilization is eliminated. They can be used under hoods without danger.
Cole-Parmer Argos Technologies Calibrated Inoculating Streaker Loops, 10 ul, 4 mm ID; 5/PK
These loops attached to a light-weight aluminum handle are made of high quality twisted nichrome wire. The handles are insulated to protect the hand, during use. The loops have been designed to slide along agar surfaces without cutting or tearing. Loops and handles cool rapidly, after sterilization. They are offered calibrated (1l & 10l) or non-calibrated. Non-calibrated loops and handles are available as small, medium or large and color coded for easy identification.
Cole-Parmer Argos Technologies Medium Inoculating Loops, 3.41 mm ID; 25/Pk
These inoculating loops are made from high quality twisted nichrome wire. The loops have been designed to slide along agar surfaces without cutting or tearing. They cool rapidly and are less expensive than platinum. The loops are supplied without handles and available calibrated or non-calibrated. Brass loop handles are sold separately as models 04396-40 and -41.
