Disposable Spreaders

  • Spread cultures and liquids evenly
  • Smooth-edges – minimize “gouging”
  • 3 configurations: “L”, “T”, or Triangle
  • Ideal for bacterial CFU Counts
  • Pre-sterilized – no flaming required

All versions are supplied in sterile packaging, but are also autoclavable and have smooth, rounded edges to prevent unwanted cutting, scraping or gouging of agar during inoculation.  

L-Shape: 

The original spreaders are ideal for spreading bacteriological cultures evenly. The shape allows the user to rotate and apply easily throughout an entire round plate or dish. They are made of ABS and have a slight upward curve at the edge to prevent dragging or scraping.  


T-Shape:

This shape ensures that consistently even pressure can be applied across the entire span of the 34 mm spreading surface. Designed for spreading and dispersing liquids across the surface of agar culture plates, they are made of ABS and commonly used for CFU plate counts on water, milk, urine, etc.  

 

Triangle Shape:

This new design is also used for CFU count applications, but has a grooved handle that improves grip and orientation. Made of polypropylene, they are available with a 30 mm span or an extra large 60 mm span.

Sterile Disposable Inoculating Loops & Needles

These sterile disposable plastic loops and needles are designed for use in quantitative procedures such as sampling, urine counts and serial dilutions, as well as for bacterial inoculation. Because they are pre-sterilized and designed for single use, there is no risk of cross contamination and no need for flaming. They are flexible enough for streaking, yet rigid enough for subsurface inoculation.

The unique hexagonal shape of the shaft makes it easier to grip, orientate and guide through a smooth streaking process. The loop surfaces are extremely smooth with no rough edges and no flashing or burrs on the loop head. This results in the elimination of cutting or gouging of the agar surface.

Sterile, disposable and verifiably accurate, these loops provide an efficient, cost-effective and time-saving alternative to traditional metallic loops.

ASSTERILEDILOONEED

Our Inoculating Loops and Needles are smooth and flexible to facilitate uniform, smooth streaking without damage to media/gel surfaces. The needles are straight and suitable for removal of single colony specimens. The loops are extra-smooth and constructed of polypropylene and rubber. Both the loops and needles are packed sterile in safe, tamper-proof, zip-seal resealable bags. Cross contamination due to improper sterilization is eliminated. They can be used under hoods without danger, are color coded for ease of size identification, and are extra long to reduce the risk of contamination. Certificate of conformity is available upon request.

Transfer Pipettes
  • Transparent, nontoxic and inert
  • Precise, uniform drop size
  • Shatter-proof and unbreakable
  • Can be used with LN2 (-196° C)
  • Heat Sealable

These unbreakable, one-piece pipettes eliminate contaminated rubber bulbs, broken glass and exposure to infectious materials. They are made of ultra-clear, low density polyethylene (LDPE) and are ideal for microbiology, blood banking, hematology, immunology, and urinalysis. Sterile pipettes are excellent for tissue culture application. Their low-affinity surface reduces sample, cell or protein loss.
 
Whether you make your selection based on length, build draw, pipette capacity or number of drops per ml, one of these ten designs is likely to be suitable for your application. Some have ultra-fine extended tips (P4113, P4117,P4121, P4122, P4133) that allow for extremely precise dispensing and access into the narrowest vessels. They can also be heat sealed for airtight sample storage. Their uniform drop size can be used for reproducible spotting of gels & TLC plates, and for dispensing into test plates, ID strips, PCR tubes or 96 well plates.
