STERILE NEEDLE (P. P.)

Sterile Needle (P.P.) is for microbiological methods requiring accurate stabbing or inoculation into culture media. The straight needle allows controlled access to agar and other suitable media, without disturbing the surrounding surface.
The needle is of a plastic resin giving the controlled flexibility and adequate rigidity for routine laboratory handling. It is meant to prevent cutting or damaging the agar surface but when necessary to be of sufficient strength to pick and transfer stubborn colonies.
The needle is sterile and does not require flaming for sterilisation before use, thus helping to simplify routine laboratory procedures. It is suitable for applications in clinical laboratories, pharmaceutical laboratories, testing facilities, and other microbiology work areas. Straight configuration allows for useful stabbing of media in culture and identification procedures.
It allows the disposable laboratory instrument to facilitate comfortable and clean handling of cultures of microbes. The sterile needle is for in vitro laboratory use only and should be treated as a potential microbiological safety practice.

Sterile polypropylene needle designed for precise stabbing of culture media in clinical, pharmaceutical, and microbiology laboratories.
