Frequently Asked Questions
Are these inoculation loops calibrated and certified?
Yes. Each loop is calibrated to deliver 1 µL and ships with a calibration certificate, making it suitable for quantitative urine culture and other workflows requiring a documented, reproducible inoculum.
Are the loops sterile and ready to use?
Yes. Loops are supplied sterile and individually wrapped, so each one can be opened at the point of use to maintain aseptic technique without additional preparation.
What is the loop made from, and why is it flexible?
The loops are molded from polystyrene. The flexible design lets the loop conform across the agar surface during streaking while holding a consistent 1 µL volume for even media inoculation.
How are the loops sold, and is bulk pricing offered?
They are sold by the case of 1000 individually wrapped loops at $169.00 per case. Institutional and grant-funded tiered pricing is available for larger procurement volumes.
