What Is the Cell Spreader Used For?
The spread-plate technique places a small volume of diluted culture on the centre of an agar plate and spreads it into a thin, even film so that separate colonies grow and can be counted or picked. The L-shaped spreader does this job: its flat foot rests on the agar while the plate is turned, and the design allows the entire surface of the petri dish to be reached with ease.
Pipette the inoculum onto the plate, lay the foot of the spreader gently on the agar, and rotate the dish while moving the spreader back and forth until the liquid is absorbed. Because the spreader does not need flaming, students avoid the fire risk of dipping glass spreaders in alcohol and passing them through a burner. It is a routine consumable for microbiology lab equipment in India, from college practicals to research labs.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of bags required (each bag contains 20 spreaders).
- Whether inoculation loops or petri dishes should be quoted with the spreaders.
- Any sterility or packaging requirement your procedure specifies, so we can confirm it.
