Disposable Inoculating Loops
Product Code : EL-BLS-10952
Last updated: 6 October 2026
Quick answer: Individually wrapped sterile disposable inoculating loops for inoculating culture media in bacteriological testing, suitable where flaming a wire loop is not practical.
The traditional nichrome loop is sterilised in a flame between transfers, which needs a Bunsen burner, a safe working area and a technique students take time to acquire. In a school laboratory without gas on the bench, or where open flames are not permitted, that is not workable. These loops are the alternative: individually wrapped, sterile, used once and discarded, with the listing noting they are suitable where flaming is not practical.
The published specification is limited to the format: individually wrapped, sterile, disposable, for inoculating culture media for bacteriological testing.
Two figures are missing and both matter. The loop volume, typically 1 or 10 microlitres, determines the inoculum size and therefore whether a streak plate or a count is reproducible. And the pack quantity determines the price per use. Ask for the loop volume, the pack quantity, the material and the sterilisation method before ordering.
