Manufactured from high-impact, medical-grade polystyrene, these spreaders feature a completely smooth, rounded finish that eliminates the risk of scratching or puncturing the delicate agar surface. The L-shape design provides a 145 mm handle for easy manipulation and a 35 mm spreading bar that maintains a perfectly flat contact area, ensuring a consistent inoculum spread every time. These spreaders are supplied individually wrapped and certified sterile, providing a ready-to-use, disposable solution that eliminates the need for time-consuming glass rod sterilization and the hazardous use of open flames and ethanol in the microbiology hood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Performance and Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eErgonomic L-Shape:\u003c\/b\u003e The 90-degree \"L\" geometry ensures that the spreading surface is always parallel to the agar, allowing for even pressure distribution and consistent lawn growth across the entire plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncidental Puncture Prevention:\u003c\/b\u003e Unlike bent glass rods, the injection-molded polystyrene has no sharp edges or burrs, protecting the integrity of the media and preventing the accidental \"digging\" that can ruin a sample.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eIndividually Wrapped:\u003c\/b\u003e Each spreader is sealed in a separate peel-pack, ensuring absolute sterility and preventing the contamination of a bulk stock when only a single unit is required for a procedure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStatic-Free Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Formulated to minimize static electricity, ensuring that the liquid sample remains on the agar surface rather than clinging to the spreader handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatalog Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 14665231\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eShape:\u003c\/b\u003e L-Shaped\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e High-Impact Polystyrene (HIPS)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSterility:\u003c\/b\u003e Sterile (Gamma Irradiated)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/b\u003e Individually Wrapped (100 per Box \/ 10 Boxes per Case)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Approx. 145 mm Handle; 35 mm Spreading Bar\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits \u0026amp; Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBacterial Colony Counting:\u003c\/b\u003e Essential for the spread-plate method of enumeration, ensuring that colonies are distributed evenly enough to be accurately counted without overlapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAntibiotic Sensitivity Testing:\u003c\/b\u003e Used to create a perfectly uniform bacterial lawn required for Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion assays and E-tests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHigh-Efficiency Microbiology:\u003c\/b\u003e A favorite for busy diagnostic labs and student classrooms, where the speed of a pre-sterilized disposable tool significantly increases sample throughput.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSafety \u0026amp; Compliance:\u003c\/b\u003e Eliminates the fire hazard and aerosolization risks associated with \"flaming\" glass or metal spreaders in laminar flow hoods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 0.8em;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll product names, logos, and brands are property of their respective owners.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fisherbrand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49082482786556,"sku":"10708","price":44.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8463\/5132\/files\/fisherbrand-cell-spreader-l-shaped-sterile-individually-wrapped-other-fisherbrand-765098.jpg?v=1778456709","url":"https:\/\/lifesciencestrading.com\/zh\/products\/fisherbrand-cell-spreader-l-shaped-sterile-individually-wrapped","provider":"Life Sciences Trading","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
