Inoculation loops and spreaders

Microorganisms must be in pure culture for accurate investigation and identification. Pure cultures are obtained by sub-culturing an individual microbial colony from a mixed culture.

Sterile inoculation loops are used as routine when inoculating solid culture media or transferring organisms from a liquid culture. The choice of product, either 10 µl or 1 µl inoculation loops or an inoculation needle, depends on the size of colony for sub-culture.

Traditionally, quantification of bacteria is carried out by applying a suspension of the test organisms to a dried culture plate, which is then spread evenly across the surface using an inoculation spreader.

Convenient and easy to use disposable loops, needles, and spreaders avoid cross-contamination and hazardous pathogenic aerosols. They ensure faster and more efficient handling especially with heavy workloads
