Spreaders
Meet specific plate and growth medium demands with the selection of cell spreaders, lifters, and inoculating loops and needles. Accomplish uniform petri-dish or plate spreading distribution for a superior bacteria population in microbiology culture testing. Different bar shapes are designed to prevent agar tearing and provide complete control even with low impact edges. All spreaders may be used to stain to highlight key cell structures for easier microscopic observations.
