BD Difco™ Loops and Needles


BD Difco™ Loops and Needles
Sterile, disposable inoculating loops and needles do not require flaming. Made from a unique plastic resin for controlled flexibility. They resist cutting the agar surface yet provide sufficient firmness to pick stubborn colonies. Color coded.
State-of-the-art plastic molding technology guarantees volume delivery consistency.
Depth or thickness of the loop wall, and the internal diameter, are critical parameters that control the actual volume delivered by the loop. BD offers the latest plastic injection molding technology to ensure product consistency and eliminate lot-to-lot and intra-lot variations in loop thickness and internal diameter.
Freedom from lubricants, oils and electrostatic charges enables consistent wetting and complete liquid transfer.
Eliminating these factors allows consistent wetting of the plastic, allowing the correct surface tension on the inside walls of the loop. Correct size droplet is formed and complete transfer of this volume takes place without leaving behind any beads of liquid.

Certification of Calibration in every pack
BD supplies an Evans Blue Dye Certificate of Calibration with every box of 1,000 loops, confirming their accuracy and consistency.
