The loop's design allows for efficient spreading of specimens across agar plates and other growth media with controlled consistency.

Whether you are propagating new cultures, conducting tissue transfers, or performing general laboratory procedures, this mycology inoculation loop provides the necessary control and sterility.

It is a fundamental component for hobbyists, educators, and commercial growers dedicated to advancing their cultivation practices, supporting reliable outcomes.

Cleaning your instruments

Before sterilizing, clean instruments using the following protocol.

  • Rinse off any fluids or tissues with water.
  • Manually clean instruments with a soft plastic brush and a pH neutral detergent. (Never use steel wool or wire brushes.)
  • Thoroughly dry instruments with a clean towel. (This will minimize the risk of corrosion and water spots.)

WARNING:

  • Low pH detergents may breakdown the stainless protective surface and cause black staining. 
  • High pH detergents may cause surface deposits of brown stains, which can interfere with the smooth operation of the instrument. 
Cautions & considerations
  • KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. When not in use, store in a safe place.
  • To prevent contamination, always sterilize your instruments before use.
