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.

Electron Microscopy Sciences Inoculating Loops, 5x70 mm, 26 Gauge, 70 mm OAL
Our high quality inoculating loops are made from platinum wire. The 15% iridium adds necessary rigidity permitting thinner wire for delicate work. The loop section is welded and smoothly finished to form a "perfect circle".
Diameter: 5 mm
Wire: 26 gauge
OAL: 70 mm
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.
Research Products International Corp Micro-Plate Pin Replicator, Flat Square Design, 1.5mm x 1.5mm Pin Size, 48 Pin
Micro-Plate Pin Replicators transfer small volume samples to plates, membranes or solid supports. Ideal for inoculum, clones, YACs, cosmid libraries, colony hybridization, antibiotic sensitivity testing, phage typing, replication of DNA libraries and more. Individual pins transfer approximately 1µl of sample. Transfer volume may vary depending on amount of pressure applied and viscosity of sample.
Pins are made of stainless steel for durability, autoclaving and flame sterilization. An economical substitute for expensive robotics systems.
