What Is an Inoculating Needle Used For?
An inoculating needle carries a tiny amount of a microbial culture from one place to another. Its fine wire point touches a single colony without picking up its neighbours, which makes it the tool for sub-culturing a pure colony, and it is pushed straight down into an agar deep tube for stab cultures that show motility or growth along the stab. For spreading a sample across the surface of a plate, microbiologists use an inoculating loop instead. Both are basic tools for aseptic technique in college microbiology, biotechnology and food-science practicals.
Hold the needle by the handle and heat the wire in a spirit-lamp or burner flame until it glows red, then let it cool for a few seconds before touching the culture, so that live cells are not killed by the hot wire. Work close to the flame, keep lids open for as short a time as possible, and flame the wire again straight after use before putting the needle down.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 units; plan one needle per student or pair in a microbiology class.
- Wire — ask JLab to state the wire material and length in the quotation if your syllabus or tender specifies them.
- Loops, dishes and lamps — add inoculating loops, petri dishes and spirit lamps to the same enquiry.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an inoculating needle and an inoculating loop?
A needle ends in a single wire point for picking single colonies and making stab cultures; a loop has a small wire ring that holds a film of liquid and is used for streaking plates and transferring broth.
What is the handle made of?
Iron, as listed. The wire material and length are not stated, so ask JLab if you need them confirmed.
How is the needle sterilised between uses?
By flaming: heat the wire in a spirit-lamp or burner flame until it glows red, then let it cool briefly before touching the culture.
Is a holder or a spirit lamp included?
No, this listing covers the needle. Spirit lamps and inoculating loops are separate items, linked below.
What is the minimum order and dispatch lead time?
The minimum order is 10 units. Dispatch usually takes 7–10 working days after visual inspection; export transit time depends on the destination and shipping method.
What details does an export quotation need?
The quantity, destination country and port or city, delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, packing or labelling needs, and the tender reference if any.
Who manufactures this inoculating needle?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, and quotes for it directly.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a manufacturer of microbiology and biology lab equipment in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The needle is made at JLab’s own works rather than bought from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy it factory-direct, every needle is visually inspected before dispatch, and repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Canada in North America, Uzbekistan in Central Asia, Estonia in Northern Europe, Jordan in the Middle East and the Netherlands in Western Europe.
