Questions about Inoculation loops, spreaders & needles

Disposable loops or reusable metal loops?

Sterile plastic disposable loops need no flame and create no aerosols from flaming, which makes them practical in a safety cabinet. Reusable loops of nickel-chromium or platinum wire are sterilised by flaming or in an electric steriliser, and pay off when you use many loops a day. Both are standard tools in microbiology. Choose the loop volume to suit your method. Burners for flaming are in Bunsen and gas burners. Unsure which one fits? Ask sales@luminixhealth.com.

Which loop volume should I choose: 1 µl or 10 µl?

A 1 µl loop suits quantitative streaking, for example in urine culture, and streaking for pure colonies. A 10 µl loop picks up a larger inoculum. An inoculation needle is for stabbing into agar, for example for a stab culture, or for picking a single colony precisely. Plates to streak on are in Petri dishes; choose the culture medium that fits your organism. Need advice for your set-up? Mail sales@luminixhealth.com.

When do I use a spreader?

An L- or T-shaped spreader distributes a liquid inoculum evenly over the agar surface. You use it for colony counts, where colonies must be separate and evenly spread, and for lawn cultures, for example in antibiotic sensitivity tests. Spread until the liquid is absorbed into the agar of the Petri dish. Sterile disposable spreaders avoid flaming. Glass spreaders and rods are in stirring rods, spreaders and glass tools. For a quote or a second opinion, write to sales@luminixhealth.com.

Do I need a holder for loops and needles?

Loose wire loops and needles are mounted in a holder with an insulated grip, so you can flame them without burning your fingers. Holders are often sold as a set with several wire loops and a needle. Disposable loops have their own handle and need no holder. Check that the holder fits the wire diameter. For the wider range of tools and media for microbiology, see the microbiology shelf.

Why Inoculation loops, spreaders & needles?

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.
