Box of 1000 Copan Plastic Inocluation Loops & Needles 10uL Sterilized EXP. 05/20

Box of 1000 Copan Plastic Inocluation Loops & Needles 10uL Sterilized Disposable. Inoculating loops and needles (sometimes called microstreakers or inoculating wands) are hand-held devices for inoculating plated or tubed growth media with microorganisms 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 microorganism prior to further analysis, microscopic examination, or serial dilution. Inoculating loops and needles consist of a handle with a terminal loop or needle which is designed to pick up and transfer a small quantity of inoculum (typically 1 to 10μL) from a donor culture to the growth medium of choice. Some loops are calibrated and colour-coded to transfer semi-quantitative amounts of inoculum.
