Laboratory Consumables – Microbiology Inoculating Loops
Precision Tools for Bacterial Culturing & Sample Handling
At Nanotec.lk, we supply premium inoculating loops designed for safe, consistent, and sterile sample transfer in microbiological research and diagnostic workflows. Whether you’re isolating pure colonies on agar plates or transferring microorganisms in liquid media, our range of disposable plastic and reusable nichrome/platinum wire loops ensures optimal performance with zero cross-contamination.
Engineered with flexible shafts, color-coded handles, and calibrated loop sizes (1 µL, 10 µL, etc.), these loops enable precise and repeatable transfers in clinical labs, food safety testing, environmental microbiology, and academic research. Options include pre-sterilized gamma-irradiated loops, flame-resistant metal loops, and inoculating needles for deep agar stab cultures.
