Edu-Labs Bacterial Inoculating Loop with Insulated PVC Handle, Braided Nichrome Wire, 5 mm

The Loop is an effective and sturdy tool for inoculating agar plates, streaking plates or collecting a bacterial film. Made of metal, it is easy to tell when it’s sufficiently flamed and sterile. Its length and size is comfortable to hold and provides enough space to work on. It comes with a rubber guard on the handle for a non-slip grip when in use. However, there has been a report of a customer receiving a bent loop due to rough handling in shipping. Overall, The Loop appears to be a suitable tool for both personal and educational use.
