It is a way to check that the loop isn't hot since you flamed it just before. I have seen some actually sizzle.

∙ 7y agoWhen you do this step, you are making sure that the loop is cool enough to put into the broth. Since both the loop and the agar are sterile, you are not going to contaminate the loop. Waving it the air or holding in the air for a long time can pick up bacteria or other microbes floating in the air.
