Frequently asked questions
Does this tool handle both streaking and puncturing?
Yes. This tool features an integrated loop and needle design, allowing you to perform both streaking and puncturing tasks without needing to switch between different implements.
Is the material safe for sensitive laboratory work?
Absolutely. These loops are sterile (gamma-irradiated) and manufactured without natural rubber latex, making them safe and reliable for sensitive clinical or research environments.
How are these packaged to keep them sterile?
They are delivered in tamper-evident, resealable bags containing 25 loops each. This ensures that you can maintain sterility and keep your workspace organized by only opening what you need.
Will this tool damage my culture media?
The loops are designed with smooth construction and a flexible material, which facilitates uniform streaking and helps minimize the risk of tearing or damaging the surface of your culture media.
Can these be sterilized and reused?
No, these are strictly for single-use only. Reusing these instruments could compromise the integrity of your samples and the safety of your lab procedures.
Is the grip stable enough for precise work?
Yes, the handle is designed with a textured, cross-hatched grip pattern. This provides added stability and control, helping you maintain precision during delicate laboratory procedures.
What is the total loop capacity?
Each loop is calibrated for a 1 µL capacity, which is standard for accurate inoculation in microbiology and diagnostic testing.
How many loops come in a full case?
Each case contains 1000 loops in total, conveniently divided into 40 individual resealable bags of 25 loops each.
What is the length of each instrument?
Each inoculating loop and needle combination measures 20 centimeters in length, providing a comfortable reach for standard Petri dish and tube work.
What kind of laboratory settings is this suited for?
These tools are ideal for:
- Microbiology laboratories
- Research facilities
- Clinical diagnostics
They are perfect for routine streaking of Petri dishes and inoculation of solid or semi-solid media.
