InocuLoop brand disposable inoculating loops have patented,
four-sided tips - like four streakers in one! Inoculate a
petri dish with one, not multiple, disposable loops. InocuLoop
is also ideal for making all your bacterial inoculation and
quantitative procedures - such as sampling, serial dilutions,
and urine counts - faster and more efficient. Plus, the four
surfaces end in an apex and can be used as a built-in picker
for isolating colonies.
Choose a 1 µl or 10 µl calibrated loop or a needle.
In addition to a certificate of calibration each case of InocuLoops
with calibrated loops includes a free CaLoopbrator sizing
gauge and extra loops from the same production lot for use
as testers.
CaLoopbrator eliminates the need for Evans Blue Dye testing
to verify loop calibrations. Based on the FDA drill bit method
accepted by the United States Public health Service, CaLoopbrator
certifies that a loop is properly calibrated by allowing lab
personnel to verify that a loop's diameter and thickness are
within acceptable tolerances.
The green "GO" end of the gauge should pass through
the loop, while the red "NO-GO" end should not.
In addition, the loop should pass sideways through the green
"GO" slot but not through the red "NO-GO"
slot. If both "GO" tests are positive and both "NO-GO"
tests are negative, the loop is properly calibrated.
Pre-sterilized InocuLoops are gamma irradiated and save the
time spent flaming metal loops. InocuLoop also eliminates
the potential hazards associated with flame-sterilizing metal
loops: spattering, cross-contamination, and the chance of
infection from aerosol pathogens.
Use InocuLoop when metal loops are unavailable or not suitable:
in anaerobic chambers, in the field, even in satellite testing.
A tamper evident feature ensures sterility. Drawer boxes
slide out so that users may remove loops by grasping the middle
of the handles, not the ends. Plastic outer bags are resealable.
For the most stringent requirements, InocuLoops are also available
individually wrapped.
