Description
Inoculation loops are stainless-steel loops intended for use with needle holders according to Kolle in routine microbiology and culture work. Each loop has an approximate diameter of 5 mm and holds about 7 µl of liquid, with an overall length of roughly 35 mm and a wire diameter of about 0,5 mm. The geometry supports standard streaking, transfer and sampling steps on solid and liquid media when fitted in a compatible Kolle-style holder. Manufactured by Marienfeld, the loops are packed one hundred pieces in a poly bag for convenient bench-side replenishment and storage. Stainless-steel construction provides a durable, reusable wire form suited to repeated flaming and cooling cycles typical of classical inoculation technique. Approximate dimensions allow operators to select an appropriate loop volume for colony picking and broth transfer without specialised tooling. The pack format is practical for teaching laboratories, diagnostic benches and general culture rooms that rely on classic metal loops rather than disposable plastic alternatives.
This article is part of Needles & cannulas, in Syringes & needles.

Questions about Inoculation loops,
What is this article?
Inoculation loops, is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Marienfeld for laboratory use. It sits in Needles & cannulas, inside Syringes & needles, in Lab consumables.
A needle or a cannula is specified by gauge, length and point, and by how it connects, Luer or cemented. A blunt needle is for transfer. A sharp needle is for piercing. Gauge is the outer diameter: a higher gauge is a thinner needle. The fitting has to match the syringe.
A syringe is a barrel and a piston. A disposable syringe is for transfer and injection. A microlitre syringe is a precise analytical tool, often with a cemented or removable needle, used to inject into a chromatograph. The needle gauge and the point, and the Luer or cemented connection, have to match the job. A Luer slip and a Luer lock are not the same fitting. In-vitro and diagnostic context is under ISO in vitro diagnostic systems.
