BD 220214 - Inoculating Loops, 1L, Disposable, Sterile, Individually Wrapped, 10/BX
The BD 220214 Inoculating Loop is a precision-molded, disposable microbiological tool designed for the safe and consistent transfer of microorganisms in clinical and research laboratories. Engineered with a 1L calibrated loop, this sterile tool ensures reliable and reproducible sample transfers for streaking, plating, and inoculating agar plates or broths. Each loop is individually wrapped and sterile, supporting aseptic technique and minimizing contamination risks in sensitive lab environments.
Key Benefits:
Precision-calibrated 1L volume supports accurate colony quantification and dilution plating
Disposable and sterileno flaming or sterilization needed, reducing cross-contamination
Flexible plastic shaft minimizes damage to agar surfaces during streaking
Individually packaged for maximum sterility and convenience
Ready-to-use design enhances workflow efficiency in busy labs
Compatibility and Applications:
Compatible with:
All standard agar plates, tubes, and microbiology media
Used for:
Inoculation of culture media, streaking for isolation, colony picking, and quantitative plating
Suitable for:
Clinical microbiology, bacteriology labs, pharmaceutical QC, environmental testing, food safety labs, and academic research
Usage Guidelines:
Open individual sterile pouch using aseptic technique
Hold by the shaft and dip the loop gently into the specimen or bacterial colony
Inoculate the plate or broth using standardized streaking or dilution methods
Dispose of immediately after use in a biohazard sharps or appropriate lab waste container
