Color coded for easy
product identification
Each loop size and model has a unique
color code to facilitate easy recognition
and to distinguish different products.
Calibrated Plastic Inoculation Loops and Needles
Ultra smooth loop surfaces
allows easy streaking
No rough plastic edges, flashing or burrs
on the loop head means smooth, problem
free planting and streaking of cultures.
Loops do not cut or gouge the agar
surface during streaking.
Free of lubricants, oils and electrostatic
charges enabling consistent wetting
and complete liquid transfer
Eliminating these factors allows consistent wetting of the
plastic, allowing the correct surface tension on the inside
walls of the loop. Correct size droplet is formed and complete
transfer of this volume takes place without leaving behind
any beads of liquid.
Hexagonal loop shaft improves
grip, assists orientation and
makes diluting and streaking easy
When viewed in cross section, the shafts of the Copan loops have
an hexagonal shape creating a handle with six flat surfaces. This
design facilitates maximum grip and easy orientation of the loop
head. When planting and streaking cultures for isolated colonies,
the hexagonal handle allows the microbiologist to quickly and
easily rotate the loop head from one flat side to another or from
flat side to the edge of the loop. This easy action means diluting
streaks for isolated colonies can be performed very quickly and
smoothly. The hexagonal loop shaft helps the microbiologist
index the first streak then rotate the loop head to achieve the
second, third and fourth dilution streaks.
Choice of rigid or flexible loops
Soft-flexible or rigid plastic to cater to different
applications and preferences of microbiologists,
Copan manufactures two lines of
1 ¼l and 10 ¼l loops using two
different plastic compounds:
soft-flexible plastic or
harder rigid plastic Put on Product PartnerRecommend to your friends
