An inoculating loop has a small circular ring at its tip and is used to collect cultures that are based in liquid. On the other hand, an inoculating needle can extract microorganisms from solid or dense material so they can be transferred to another location like a petri dish.

How do you inoculate a fungal culture in broth?
To inoculate a fungal culture in broth, a sterile loop or swab is used to transfer a small amount of the fungal culture onto the surface of the broth. The culture is then incubated at the appropriate temperature for the particular fungal strain being cultured. After incubation, the growth of the fungus in the broth can be observed and analyzed.
Why that you should cool first the inculating loop or needle before using?
Cooling the inoculating loop or needle before using helps to prevent heat from damaging the sample being inoculated. It also prevents the inadvertent killing of the culture being transferred and helps to ensure accuracy in the transfer process. Additionally, cooling the loop or needle reduces the risk of accidental burns to the user.
To use a needle and cotton?
Thread the cotton through the eye of the needle, leaving a tail to hold onto. Hold the needle steady and start sewing by pushing the needle in and out of the fabric. Remember to knot the thread at the end to secure your stitches.
Flaming an inoculating loop?
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.
Different ways of inoculating a culture medium?
Some common methods of inoculating a culture medium include streaking with an inoculation loop, spreading with a sterile spreader, and pouring a liquid culture onto the medium. Additionally, a pipette can be used to spot-inoculate specific areas on the medium or a swab can be used to directly streak the surface.
How do you inoculate a solid media?
To inoculate a solid media, a sterilized inoculation loop or needle is used to pick up a small amount of the desired culture. This culture is then streaked onto the surface of the solid media in a specific pattern to ensure isolated colonies grow. The inoculated media is then incubated at the appropriate temperature to allow the colonies to grow.
Why the loop is flamed after completing the inoculation?
because when we inoculate the culture with wire loop,some organism may be sticked to it which may be harmful or can cause trouble.so to destroy the remaining organisms wire loop is flamed again.
Why does a straight inoculating needle used to inoculate an agar deep tube?
because you want to introduces as little air as possible
How do you do a slip stitch?
Insert the knitting needle into the loop as if to knit (as opposed to the direction you insert to purl), slip the loop onto the inserted needle without creating a new stitch.
What way should the needle's loop hole face on a tattoo machine?
it is like a vibrating needle :3
Why did you use an inoculating loop instead of a needle to make the transfers from the culture plates to the culture tubes?
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.
How inoculating needle use?
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.
What is the purpose of flaming the loop before and after use?
Inoculating loop is used to inoculate microbial colony or sample on culture medium and to avoid the undesired microbial cells or to avoid contamination flaming of inoculating loop is necessary it is also called as incerination.
What are the difference between a wire loop and a wire needle?

Why is it necessary to flame the loop between cultures?
because when we inoculate the culture with wire loop,some organism may be sticked to it which may be harmful or can cause trouble.so to destroy the remaining organisms wire loop is flamed again.
What does it mean to inoculate an agar plate?
Inoculating an agar plate refers to transferring microorganisms onto the surface of the agar using a sterile inoculating loop. This allows the microorganisms to grow and form visible colonies that can be studied or identified.
Why do you use an inoculating loop instead of a needle to make the transfer from the culture plates to the culture tubes?
Because the solid media is more dense over a smaller area so a inoculating needle is used to retrieve the specimen. Where as for a liquid medium the specimen is more spread out over the liquid. The inoculating loop can collect more liquid because there is more metal present at the inoculating specimen retrieval point and has the ability to collect liquid in the loop. I'm currently taking general microbiology and my lab book hardly covers this. A.C.
