The Heathrow Scientific HS86655 stainless steel cell spreader features a 33 mm spreading bar — correctly sized for 90–100 mm plates — that distributes sample in smooth, controlled arcs without pooling or drag. Flame-sterilizable, autoclavable, and reusable. Individually single-wrapped for sterile handling from pack. 8 × 1.3 × 0.2 in (20.3 × 3.3 × 0.4 cm). 1 each.
