Inoculation loops&needles are flexible, sterile instruments that are used to inoculate a culture medium. Their design provides maximum flexibility and are highly resistant to breakage. They are supplied individually wrapped in a peel-apart package. They are also sterile and disposable.

Inoculation loops&needles are a useful tool for a range of research purposes. They are made of polystyrene and are available in a variety of sizes. They can be purchased individually or as a pack of one, ten or twenty loops. These instruments are ideal for single-colony inoculation.

Inoculation loops&needles are available with either a loop at one end or a needle on both ends. Their high flexibility ensures gentle streaking and prevents damage to the nutrient surface. Inoculation loops&needles come with certificates of sterility and calibration.

An inoculation loop is a device used to transfer a small sample of microorganisms from a container to a growth medium. The device is made up of a thin handle with a 5mm loop. Originally, these loops were made of twisted metal wire.
