Product Details
These sterile disposable plastic loops and needles are specifically designed for quantitative procedures including sampling, urine counts, and serial dilutions, as well as for bacterial inoculation. Each loop is pre-sterilized and intended for single use, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination and the need for flaming. The loops are flexible enough for effective streaking while maintaining rigidity for subsurface inoculation. Their unique hexagonal-shaped shaft enhances grip, control, and orientation during the streaking process. The surfaces of the loops are extremely smooth, free from rough edges, flashing, or burrs, which prevents cutting or gouging of the agar surface. Made from nontoxic biologically inert polypropylene, these loops offer a sterile, disposable, and verifiably accurate alternative to traditional metallic loops. Key attributes include uniform streaking and inoculating, enhanced control with the hexagonal grip, and smooth loop surfaces that ensure no gouging occurs.
