Nichrome Loop Holder with wire

LOOP HOLDER WITH NICHROME WIRE LOOP is a laboratory tool used for transferring small amounts of liquid or solid samples, particularly microorganisms, for inoculation or streaking on culture media. It consists of a durable, heat-resistant handle (often brass or plastic) and a loop made of nichrome wire. The nichrome wire is chosen for its ability to withstand repeated heating and cooling cycles during sterilization.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
Nichrome Wire: This is a nickel-chromium alloy known for its resistance to heat and corrosion, making it ideal for repeated sterilization by flaming.
Handle: The handle provides a safe and comfortable grip for the user, often made of brass or a heat-resistant plastic.
