Stainless Steel Cell Spreader 3.5cm 3PCS by Lind Kitchen Lab Utensil

Description

Product Overview

The 3PCS 3.5cm stainless steel cell spreader set from Lind Kitchen combines precision engineering with laboratory‑grade durability. Each spreader is forged from high‑grade stainless steel that exhibits a mirror‑bright finish, offering exceptional corrosion resistance and a surface that will not react with biological samples. The triangular design of the spreading bar ensures a faster, smoother application of bacterial suspensions across agar surfaces, reducing the risk of uneven distribution. Package dimensions measure 8.9 x 2.64 x 1.06 inches and the total weight is only 1.94 ounces, making the set lightweight yet robust. The spreaders are compatible with standard Petri dishes and can be sterilized by autoclave, high‑temperature pressure, or direct heating without deformation, ensuring consistent performance across multiple experiments.

Usage

These spreaders are ideal for microbiological experiments that require coating bacterial liquids onto agar plates. Their smooth, non‑abrasive surface allows for even spreading of cultures, which is essential for accurate colony counting and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. The set is suitable for use in academic research labs, clinical microbiology settings, and industrial quality‑control environments. Because the stainless steel material does not shatter like glass, the spreaders provide a safer alternative for routine handling, especially when working with pathogenic organisms. Users can quickly dip the spreader into a bacterial suspension and roll it across the plate, achieving a uniform lawn in seconds. The ergonomic shape reduces hand fatigue during repetitive tasks, making it a practical choice for high‑throughput workflows.

FAQ

Can these spreaders be used with liquid media other than bacterial suspensions?

Yes, the stainless steel spreaders are compatible with a variety of liquid media, including fungal spores and yeast cultures, as long as the viscosity is appropriate for smooth rolling.

What sterilization methods are recommended for these spreaders?

The spreaders can be sterilized using standard autoclave cycles (121 °C for 15 minutes), dry heat ovens, or direct flame. All methods preserve the integrity of the stainless steel.

Is the triangular design better than a traditional flat spreader?

The triangular shape reduces the contact area, allowing the user to apply the culture more evenly and with less effort, which improves consistency across plates compared to flat spreaders.

How many times can the spreaders be reused before replacement is needed?

When properly maintained and sterilized, the spreaders can be reused for hundreds of experiments. Visible wear or deformation should prompt replacement.

Do you offer bulk purchasing options for larger laboratories?

Yes, Lind Kitchen provides bulk order discounts and can supply custom packaging to meet the needs of larger research facilities or teaching labs.
