Heathrow Scientific HD81121C PP Loop 10µL 4mm x 200mm Pack 1000

Description

Product Overview

The Heathrow Scientific HD81121C is a high‑quality polypropylene inoculating loop designed for laboratory professionals who demand precision and reliability. Each loop is manufactured from medical‑grade polypropylene, a material known for its chemical resistance, flexibility, and ability to maintain sterility until the moment of use. The loop provides a fixed 10 µL volume capacity, measured by a 4 mm diameter tip that extends 200 mm in length, allowing for easy handling and consistent sample transfer. The product dimensions of 8 × 0.16 × 0.16 inches and a lightweight 1.6 oz design make it convenient to store in bulk, while the sterile packaging ensures a contamination‑free environment for each individual loop. With a best‑seller rank of #52 in Lab Cell Scrapers & Spreaders, this item has earned a reputation for dependable performance among microbiology researchers.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of microbiological applications, the HD81121C loop excels in tasks such as transferring bacterial cultures, streaking agar plates, and inoculating liquid media. Its flexible loop tip enables smooth, uniform streaking across the surface of solid media, reducing the risk of uneven colony distribution and improving the accuracy of colony counting. The sterile, single‑use nature of each loop eliminates the need for flame sterilization, saving valuable time in high‑throughput environments like clinical labs, research institutions, and quality‑control facilities. The loop’s 10 µL capacity is ideal for both small‑volume inoculations and larger transfers, making it a versatile tool for routine diagnostics, antibiotic susceptibility testing, and educational laboratory exercises.

FAQ

What is the recommended storage condition for the loops?

Store the loops in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The sealed sterile packaging protects the loops from moisture and contamination, preserving their sterility until use.

Can the loop be used for both liquid and solid media?

Yes, the HD81121C loop is suitable for inoculating liquid broth as well as streaking solid agar plates. Its 10 µL capacity provides flexibility for a variety of microbiological techniques.

Is the loop compatible with automated inoculation systems?

The loop’s standard dimensions (4 mm diameter, 200 mm length) are compatible with most manual and semi‑automated inoculation devices. However, users should verify compatibility with specific equipment manufacturers.

How does lot‑to‑lot traceability benefit my laboratory?

Lot‑to‑lot traceability ensures that each batch of loops can be tracked back to its manufacturing source, allowing for quick identification and resolution of any quality issues that may arise.

What should I do if a loop appears damaged upon opening?

If a loop is damaged or compromised, contact Heathrow Scientific customer service immediately. We will arrange a replacement and investigate the cause to prevent future occurrences.
