Product Overview
Polylab L Shaped Spreaders are essential microbiology tools designed for the uniform spreading of bacterial or cell culture samples on agar surfaces. Manufactured from high-quality polypropylene, these spreaders are non-toxic, autoclavable, and provide excellent chemical resistance, making them a durable and reusable alternative to fragile glass or disposable wooden spreaders.
Each spreader is molded with a smooth, angled L-shape that ensures even distribution of inoculum across the surface of a petri dish without tearing or gouging the agar. The polished spreading edge prevents scratches on the medium and allows microbiologists to achieve consistent colony growth in microbiological and cell culture work.
Lightweight yet shatterproof, Polylab L Shaped Spreaders are easy to handle and designed for repeated sterilization cycles at 121°C. Their reusable nature makes them a cost-effective option for educational labs, research facilities, and industrial microbiology applications.
