Safety Equipment: Disposable transfer loops, needles and cell spreaders

The advantage of disposable transfer loops, needles and cell spreaders is that they do not have to be sterilized and can therefore be used in biological safety cabinets where Bunsen burners and microincinerators would disturb the airflow. These loops should be placed in disinfectant after use and discarded as contaminated waste.

Recommended Work Practices: Autoclaves
