Inoculating Loops Hall Bio 2mm x 100mm Nichrome A Pack 12

Description

Product Overview

Hall Bio inoculating loops are engineered for laboratory professionals who demand consistency, durability, and precision. Constructed from high‑quality 24‑gauge Nichrome A wire, each loop provides a 2 mm internal diameter and a 100 mm overall length, delivering the ideal balance between flexibility and rigidity. The smooth, rounded tip is designed to glide across agar surfaces without tearing or cutting, while the rapid‑cooling property of Nichrome A minimizes heat transfer, protecting delicate microbial cultures. These loops are reusable, reducing waste and operational costs, and they are manufactured in the United States to meet stringent quality standards. The product is supplied as a 12‑pack, giving laboratories a ready reserve for daily procedures, quality control checks, and teaching environments.

Usage

These inoculating loops excel in a variety of microbiology and cell culture applications. Whether you are streaking bacteria on solid media, transferring colonies between plates, or performing delicate manipulations in tissue culture, the loops provide reliable performance. Their 2 mm diameter is optimal for handling medium‑sized colonies, while the 100 mm length offers sufficient reach for deep petri dishes and large culture flasks. The loops are compatible with standard loop handles, allowing users to replace the loop tip without discarding the entire instrument. Ideal for academic laboratories, research institutions, clinical diagnostics, and industrial quality‑control labs, Hall Bio loops support routine inoculation, colony isolation, and sub‑culturing tasks. Their reusable nature makes them especially valuable in high‑throughput settings where cost‑effective consumables are essential.

FAQ

Can these loops be sterilized for repeated use?

Yes. Hall Bio inoculating loops are designed for multiple sterilization cycles. They can be autoclaved at standard laboratory settings (121 °C for 15 minutes) without loss of structural integrity or performance.

What type of handle is compatible with these loops?

The loops are compatible with any standard inoculating loop handle that accepts a 2 mm diameter tip. Users can purchase separate handles or use existing equipment, simply inserting the loop into the handle’s slot.

Are the loops suitable for both bacterial and fungal cultures?

Absolutely. The smooth, rounded tip and precise diameter make them ideal for transferring bacterial colonies as well as fungal spores and hyphal fragments, providing versatility across microbiological applications.

How many times can a single loop be reused before replacement is recommended?

When properly sterilized after each use, a loop can be reused dozens of times. We recommend inspecting the loop for signs of wear or deformation and replacing it if any damage is observed.

Do the loops come pre‑sterilized?

No. The loops are supplied sterile‑packed but should be autoclaved or flame‑sterilized before first use to ensure complete aseptic conditions.
