Inoculating Loops, Needles and Spreaders

Product catalog summary
Product Overview:
Copan Diagnostics offers a range of laboratory tools including inoculating loops, needles, and spreaders, essential for microbiological applications such as bacterial culture and specimen handling. These products are designed for durability, ease of use, and accuracy in transferring liquid volumes.
NiChrome Wire Loops:
Made from 80/20 Nickel-Chrome wire, these loops are durable and cool rapidly after heat sterilization. Available in calibrated (1μL and 10μL) and non-calibrated sizes, they ensure precision in quantitative specimen cultures and prevent agar surface damage.
Plastic Calibrated Loops and Needles:
These disposable loops, available in rigid and flexible forms, come in 1μL and 10μL sizes. They are color-coded for easy identification and packaged in tamper-evident, resealable bags to maintain sterility. Each pack includes a Certificate of Calibration.
Combo-Loops:
Featuring NiChrome wire loops attached to lightweight aluminum handles, these are available in various sizes and are suitable for sterilization by incinerator or Bunsen flame.
Plastic Inoculating Needles:
Available in regular (20cm long, 1.45mm diameter) and mini (15cm long, 1.15mm diameter) sizes, these needles are designed for picking isolated colonies and making stab inoculations.
Spreaders:
T-shaped and L-shaped plastic spreaders are designed for even distribution of liquids over agar plates, available in sterile packaging to ensure smooth application without damaging the agar surface.
Packaging and Quality Control:
Products are packaged in convenient, cost-effective quantities, with loops and needles available in medical-style peel pouches. The accuracy of calibrated loops is verified using the Evans Blue Dye Method, and tool gauges are available for quality control checks.
Additional Features:
Copan products feature hexagonal loop shafts for improved grip and orientation, and are free of lubricants and electrostatic charges to ensure consistent liquid transfer.
