Molded from yellow ABS plastic, treated, and individually packed for sterility assurance, part 333-5011-Y1I is designed for routine streak plating, colony isolation, and agar surface spreading without the need for a separate cell spreader. The yellow color aids quick visual identification during busy laboratory workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number (MPN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e333-5011-Y1I\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand \/ Product Line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInocuLoop™\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLoop Volume\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 µL (calibrated)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLoop \u0026amp; Spreader (combination)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTreatment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTreated \u0026amp; Sterile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYellow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePackaging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndividually Packed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStreak plating for bacterial and fungal colony isolation on solid agar media\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantitative inoculation requiring a calibrated 10 µL loop volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpreading liquid sample suspensions evenly across agar plate surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-use sterile inoculation in clinical, environmental, and research microbiology labs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor-coded workflow organization to differentiate loop volumes or sample sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial \u0026amp; Chemical Resistance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese inoculating loops are manufactured from ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), a rigid engineering thermoplastic that provides good dimensional stability for a well-formed, consistent loop geometry at the 10 µL calibration. ABS is suitable for routine aqueous microbiological media and standard buffers. Because ABS is not autoclavable and can be susceptible to strong organic solvents, these loops are intended for single-use disposable applications; the individually packed sterile format eliminates the need for any pre-use sterilization step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuality \u0026amp; Procurement\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in USA, Caplugs® Evergreen InocuLoop™ inoculating loops are manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management from BPA-free, phthalate-free, latex-free resin. Each loop is individually packed and supplied treated and sterile, providing ready-to-use convenience right out of the package.
