Globe Scientific Rigid Inoculation Loops, 1 µL Sterile Calibrated — Loop & Loop/Needle, 1000/Case
The Globe Scientific Rigid Inoculation Loops deliver a precision-molded 1 µL calibrated loop for reproducible specimen transfer in clinical and research microbiology. Engineered for quantitative urine cultures, plate streaking, and broth inoculation, each loop holds a fixed volume to support consistent colony counts. Sterile and individually packaged, they eliminate flaming and cool-down delays at the bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the calibrated volume of these loops?
Each rigid loop is factory-calibrated to deliver 1 µL, supporting reproducible colony counts in quantitative urine cultures and other semi-quantitative plating procedures.
What is the difference between SKU 2821 and SKU 2851?
SKU 2821 is a green loop-only design, while SKU 2851 combines a calibrated loop with an integral needle for stab inoculation of semisolid media. Both ship sterile, 1000 per case.
Are these loops sterile and ready to use?
Yes. Both options are supplied sterile and individually accessible, so there is no flaming or cool-down step required before transfer.
What material are the loops made from?
The loops are molded from rigid polystyrene as a single piece, providing a stable handle and a consistent loop geometry for repeatable fill volumes.
