Description
Platinum/iridium inoculation loop is a reusable laboratory tool for controlled transfer of microorganisms in microbiology, molecular biology and cell-culture workflows. The loop is formed from platinum/iridium wire with a wire diameter of 0,6 mm and an inner loop diameter of 3 mm; the short description also indicates an overall length of 50 mm, supporting precise streaking and sampling on solid media. Platinum/iridium construction is valued for thermal stability during routine flaming and for a smooth working surface that helps deliver consistent inocula. Supplied as a single piece with a net weight of 0,002 kg, the loop fits standard holders used at the bench or in safety cabinets. This inoculation loop from manufacturer WLD-TEC is intended for everyday culture work, including colony picking, serial dilution streaks and preparation of inocula for tissue-culture accessories. Compact dimensions and a defined inner loop opening make it suitable where small, repeatable volumes are required. Use according to local laboratory practice for sterilisation between samples and for handling of pure cultures or mixed populations on agar plates and similar media.
This article is part of Inoculation loops, spreaders & needles, in Culture media & microbiology.

Questions about Inoculation loop Platinum/iridium, Loops-Ø inside 3 mm, 50 mm
What is this article?
Inoculation loop Platinum/iridium, Loops-Ø inside 3 mm, 50 mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes WLD-TEC 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.
