Description
Inoculation loop made of platinum-iridium wire, 5 mm is a specialised laboratory consumable for controlled transfer and streaking of microbial cultures on solid and liquid media. The loop is formed from platinum-iridium wire with a working diameter of 5 mm, giving a stable geometry suited to routine colony picking, dilution streaking and inoculum delivery in bacteriology and mycology. Platinum-iridium construction provides high thermal resistance, allowing repeated flame sterilisation while retaining shape and surface integrity after cooling. Packaged as a single piece, the loop is intended for use with standard inoculation-loop holders commonly found in research, diagnostic and quality-control laboratories. This inoculation loop from manufacturer schuett biotec supports consistent sample handling when preparing pure cultures, sub-culturing isolates or transferring material between agar plates and broth. The smooth wire surface minimises unwanted carry-over and facilitates precise placement of inocula. Suitable for daily microbiological workflows that demand reliable sterilisation cycles and durable wire performance without additional coatings or treatments.
This article is part of Inoculation loops, spreaders & needles, in Culture media & microbiology.

Questions about Inoculating loops, platinum-iridium wire, 5 mm (qty=1)
What is this article?
Inoculating loops, platinum-iridium wire, 5 mm (qty=1) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Schuett-Biotec for laboratory use. It sits in Inoculation loops, spreaders & needles, inside Culture media & microbiology, in Microbiology lab supplies.
A loop, a needle or a spreader transfers and streaks a culture. A calibrated loop of 1 µL or 10 µL is a volume claim. A needle stabs a deep. Disposable sterile plastic and reusable nichrome are different articles. A loop that is not sterile is a mixed culture.
A culture medium is the food and the solid or liquid home of a microorganism. Dehydrated media are powders the laboratory dissolves and sterilises. Ready-to-use plates and tubes are already that. A Petri dish is the plate. Selective media let one kind of organism grow and hold another back. The formulation and the supplements, not the colour of the agar, are the specification. Reference strains are at ATCC. Methods are on PubMed. Biosafety practice is the WHO laboratory biosafety topic.
