Inoculating loops are used to transfer microorganisms to growth media or for staining slides. They are an important part of the sterile technique as their use permits transfer only of the material of interest.
Type your answer here... it is make diluting and spread the micro organism on solid medium by inoculation loop.
It is necessary to heat the inoculating loop after each transfer in order not to cross contaminate the media you are working with. It is also needed to maintain universal sterile procedures in a laboratory environment.
Inoculating loops are for the transferring of microorganisms or for the staining of slides. ?æIt is also called a smear loop or a micro streaker.?æ
There is no "set" time limit. For proper aseptic technique, you should wait until the inoculating loop/needle is visibly red so that all organisms are dead, etc.
The false positive from the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and the inoculating loop would be caused by poor specificity. The formula for specificity is TN/TN+FP.
When sterilizing a loop, grasp the handle firmly and begin flaming it starting at the end near the grip, flaming slowly down towards the loop, being sure that the wire is glowing orange. This ensures that the loop is being flamed properly and sterilizing.
A inoculating loop is used for transfers from culture plates to culture tubes instead of the inoculating needle because the needle could puncture the agar in tube. The loop is much easier as well to get liquid amount into the tube.
Air gun and inoculating loop are some of the another inoculating instruments. The air gun is used to squirt thin stream of vaccine.

The inoculating tube is cooled before use so that the organism is not killed by extensive heat.
Inoculating needle is used like a pen. Hold it like you hold a pen. Inoculating loop and a needle is mainly used to pick a single colony(pure) so u need to be gentle on the agar. practice using an inoculating needle on a paper with pen.
Pass the loop through a flame 2 or 3 times for about 10 seconds at a time.

when we show the flame in the loop ,for 1 minute its gets brownish colur
Se utiliza una vez el asa de siembra o la aguja se encuentra visiblemente roja, de manera que mueran todos los organismos. De esta manera poder esparcir a su vez la muestra en la laminilla.Translation: It is used once the loop or needle is visibly red, so that all organisms die. Thus turn to spread the sample on the slide.
