Achieve flawless microbial isolation and uniform agar plating with Heathrow Scientific Sterile Inoculating Loops, Needles, and Cell Spreaders. Designed specifically for high-throughput microbiology and clinical diagnostic labs, these single-use disposable tools completely eliminate the need for dangerous open-flame sterilization. This significantly reduces the risk of aerosolizing hazardous pathogens and guarantees zero cross-contamination between sensitive bacterial cultures.The inoculating loops and needles are manufactured from high-quality polystyrene and are available in both Rigid (for deep stabs and heavy streaking) and Flexible (for delicate surface plating) configurations. The precise 1µL and 10µL loops ensure accurate volumetric liquid transfers every time. For widespread surface inoculation, the Delta Cell Spreaders feature a smooth, rounded edge that evenly distributes cells across the petri dish without gouging or tearing the delicate agar gel. All instruments are supplied pre-sterilized in bulk packs to support massive clinical workflows.
