• Rapid heating and cooling for efficient sterilization cycles
• Precision-formed loop for consistent inoculum size
• Reusable and long-lasting, reducing disposable waste
• Compatible with open flame or electric incinerator sterilization

 

The Medical Wire & Equipment (MWE) Nichrome 10 µL Microloop (Product Code MW190) is a precision-engineered reusable inoculating loop designed for microbiological applications. Constructed from nickel-chromium (nichrome) alloy, it offers superior strength, flexibility, and resistance to high temperatures. Microloops are used for streaking, inoculating, and transferring microbial cultures in food, environmental, clinical, and research laboratories. The nichrome wire heats rapidly when exposed to an open flame or incinerator, ensuring complete sterilization. Its optimal heat conductivity allows the loop to cool quickly, minimising waiting time between inoculations. The rigid yet flexible wire design enables smooth streaking across agar surfaces without damaging the medium. The 10 µL Microloop provides consistent loop size for reproducible inoculation volumes and is designed for repeated sterilization by flame or electric incinerator.

 

Maintenance and Cleaning

• Inspect the loop regularly for signs of distortion or damage.
• Ensure the holder and wire junction remain firmly attached.
• Replace if the loop becomes bent, frayed, or pitted from oxidation.
