Description
Inoculation loops, standard, small are laboratory tools for transferring and streaking microbial cultures in microbiology, molecular biology, and cell-culture support work. Each loop has a small standard format with an inner diameter of 2,45 mm, suited to controlled sampling and plating where a compact loop opening is preferred. The pack contains 25 pc(s) and weighs 0,010 kg overall, so multiple loops are ready for routine bench use without frequent reordering. These inoculation loops from Cole-Parmer fit typical workflows involving culture media, tissue-culture accessories, and general microbial handling, including isolation streaks and simple inoculum transfer steps. The defined inner diameter supports consistent technique when operators need a smaller loop geometry for denser colonies or finer distribution on agar surfaces. As standard small loops, they integrate easily into everyday labware sets used alongside applicators and related culture tools. Clear sizing and unit quantity help laboratories standardise consumables across teaching, research, and quality-control benches while keeping sample transfer straightforward and repeatable.
This article belongs on Inoculation loops, spreaders & needles, in Culture media & microbiology.

Questions about Inoculation loops, standard, small, inner Ø 2.45 mm, 25 pcs, 25 unit(s)
What is this article?
Inoculation loops, standard, small, inner Ø 2.45 mm, 25 pcs, 25 unit(s) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Cole-Parmer for laboratory use. It sits in Inoculation loops, spreaders & needles, inside Culture media & microbiology, in Life Science & Microbiology.
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.
