Review: handle melted in sterilizer. - not heat sterilizable. Review: A loop with culture - I ordered this for the usual purpose -- transferring inoculum to microscope slides, selecting colonies for transfer to new media etc. This is a very nice unit. It has a long handle (useful for reaching into culture tubes) and it comes with a vial of replacement nichrome loops. Nichrome is a durable choice for this purpose as it withstands flame sterilization with ease, so you don't have to throw it out after a single use. (You flame before and after use.) The construction is pretty simple -- there are two cuts at right angles to each other at the end of the threads. You insert the loop, and then tighten down the cap. There was a bit of debris from the manufacturing process that kept me from being able to insert the loop until I discovered and removed the debris. But that is a very minor defect. Anyway, this is an excellent and cost-effective choice and I recommend it highly. It also came quickly and well packaged. ## Features - Package include:1pcs 8.8'(22cm) inoculation rod and 50pcs 10ul inoculating tips(3mm diameter twisted wire loop and 55mm long) - The inoculation holder is made of bakelite handle and nickel plated brass rod,the inoculating loop is made of durable nichrome,can be flame sterilizing - Easily manageable while being long enough to dissipate lots of heat,and good for hours of back-to-back platinge - Heat the loop until it glows then let it cool for about thirty seconds before touching your culture.Don't autoclave the bakelite handle,it can always be disinfected with ethanol - The grip portion of the handle is pliable and soft,highly durable and solid product without being overly heavy and a chore to use ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Manufacturer | OESS | | Part number | 43217-24356 | | Item Weight | 20 g | | Package Dimensions | 21.59 x 7.62 x 0.76 cm; 20 g | | Item model number | 43217-24356 | | Material | metal pvc | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Batteries included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | ## Images ![OESS Reusable Inoculating Loop with 50pcs 10uL Nichrome Needle Tips Inoculation Loop for Bacterial Tissue Culture - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51XfexbqOTL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can these be used in a microincinerator instead of using flame sterilizing technique?** A: Yes they can. The only problem I have had is students leaving them in the incinerator too long and consequently melting the handle. Other than one handle melting, this product has held up to 192 students using them for 3 weeks so far. **Q: Can you bend the loops?** A: Yes they are fairly soft metal **Q: How long are these loops and will they withstand temps of up to 1900 degrees, asking as a ceramicist looking for bargain nichrome rods.** A: I honestly don't know. Microbiology class taught us to heat with a bunson burner until it glows red and count 8 to 10 seconds. I do not know the temp, or how long it could withstand that though. **Q: Whats the country of origin?** A: No idea. It works. It works well ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐ handle melted in sterilizer. *by A***M on 12 November 2024* not heat sterilizable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A loop with culture *by B***M on 26 July 2017* I ordered this for the usual purpose -- transferring inoculum to microscope slides, selecting colonies for transfer to new media etc. This is a very nice unit.
