Description
Inoculation loop, stainless steel is a reusable microbiology instrument designed for picking, transferring, and streaking microbial cultures on agar plates and into liquid media. It offers an internal diameter of 4 mm and an external diameter of 6,4 mm, together with an overall length of 180 mm that gives convenient working distance above dishes, tubes, and small flasks. Fabricated from stainless steel, the loop tolerates repeated flaming and cooling cycles that form part of classical aseptic technique in bacteriology, mycology, and related cell-culture support tasks. The unit is supplied as one piece, making it straightforward to assign to individual workstations or to keep as a calibrated spare. Clear dimensional specification helps laboratories standardise loop geometry across operators and protocols. This inoculation loop is available from manufacturer Hammacher and complements other applicators and inoculation accessories used in tissue-culture and microbiology suites. Metal construction favours longevity compared with single-use plastic loops when flame sterilisation is the preferred method. Choose this stainless steel model when an internal diameter of 4 mm, external diameter of 6,4 mm, and length of 180 mm are required for routine culture work.
This article belongs on Inoculation loops, spreaders & needles, in Culture media & microbiology.

Questions about Inoculation loop, stainless steel, int. Ø, 4mm, ext. Ø, 6.4mm, length 180mm
What is this article?
Inoculation loop, stainless steel, int. Ø, 4mm, ext. Ø, 6.4mm, length 180mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hammacher 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.
