PR1MA™ Disposable Spreaders
Sterile Disposable Bacteriological Spreaders – L-Shape, T-Shape, and Triangle.
PR1MA™ sterile disposable bacteriological spreaders are designed for efficient and safe sample spreading across agar plates. Available in four distinct shapes—L-shape, T-shape, and two triangle variants (30 mm and 60 mm)—these spreaders are ideal for a wide range of microbiological applications, including CFU counts, sample plating, and liquid dispersion.
Each spreader is manufactured with smooth, rounded edges to prevent cutting or gouging of the agar surface during inoculation. Supplied in sterile packaging, they ensure reliable and contamination-free performance in clinical, research, industrial, and educational laboratories.

Triangle Spreaders (Polypropylene – 30 mm & 60 mm options)
- Grooved handle offers enhanced grip and orientation control
- Available in two sizes for greater versatility
- Ideal for colony-forming unit (CFU) analysis and spreading applications requiring precision
Key Features
- Smooth, rounded edges to prevent agar damage
- Individually sterile packaged for contamination-free use

PR1MA™ Disposable Transfer Pipettes
LDPE, Disposable, RNase/DNase Free.
PR1MA™ Disposable Transfer Pipettes are made from ultra-clear, low-density polyethylene (LDPE), offering an unbreakable, one-piece design that eliminates the risk of broken glass, contaminated rubber bulbs, and exposure to infectious materials. These pipettes are ideal for a wide range of laboratory applications, including microbiology, blood banking, hematology, immunology, urinalysis, and tissue culture.
Available in 10 unique designs across 6 volume capacities, these pipettes provide options for every application—from general sample transfer to highly precise dispensing. Models with ultra-fine extended tips allow for accurate sample delivery into narrow vessels, microtubes, or 96-well plates.
Each pipette delivers uniform drop sizes, ideal for spotting gels, TLC plates, or dispensing into PCR tubes, ID strips, and microplates. LDPE’s low-affinity surface reduces loss of cells, proteins, or samples—critical for consistent and reliable results. Pipettes can also be heat-sealed for airtight sample storage.
Key Features
- Unbreakable, one-piece LDPE construction – eliminates glass breakage and contamination risks
- 10 pipette designs across 6 capacities for application-specific flexibility
- Available sterile (individually or in packs of 20), or non-sterile bulk
- Models with ultra-fine tips for precise dispensing into small or narrow containers
- Uniform drop size for reproducible applications (gels, TLC, microplates)
- Low sample retention surface – minimizes sample, protein, or cell loss
- Can be heat-sealed for secure sample storage
- Certified RNase-, DNase-, and pyrogen-free
Whether you're conducting routine lab procedures or high-precision assays, these sterile or non-sterile disposable transfer pipettes are a reliable choice for consistent sample handling.

Inoculating Loops and Needles
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.

Touch pressure with felt tip marker on petri dish registers cumulative count on the digital display with confirmation by audible tone (can be turned on or off). The pressure required to register a count can be adjusted to suit each user. Averaging facility calculates average count over multiple plates. Counting results as well as useful statistics including SD can be sent directly to the accessory printer or to a computer via a USB cable supplied.
Sub-stage illumination by low energy bright LED's allows glare-free optimum viewing. A switchable black background is provided to enhance viewing of translucent and difficult to see colonies. Supplied with a Wolffhuegel graticule, segmentation dish and dish centering adapters to facilitate use with 50mm to 90mm dishes. A choice of magnifiers and a printer are available as optional accessories.
