Frequently Asked Questions
Are these inoculation loops individually sterile?
Yes. All loops ship sterile and ready to use. Color coding (natural for 1 µL, blue for 10 µL) lets staff quickly confirm the correct calibrated volume at the bench.
What is the difference between the 1 µL and 10 µL versions?
The calibrated loop diameter sets the transfer volume. Use 1 µL loops for higher-count specimens and 10 µL loops for standard quantitative urine cultures and general streaking.
Does each loop include a needle?
Yes. Every loop is molded with an integrated needle end for stab inoculation of agar deeps and slants, eliminating the need for a separate tool.
How are the loops packaged?
Each SKU is supplied 1000 loops per case. Cases are lot-numbered to support documentation and traceability requirements in accredited labs.
