Description
The L-Shaped Spreader, Sterile Polypropylene, also known as a microbiology spreader, L-shaped cell spreader or hockey stick spreader, is designed for distributing liquid samples evenly across the surface of solidified agar media in Petri dishes. Manufactured by PolyLab, this laboratory spreader is made from polypropylene (PP), providing a lightweight and practical instrument for microbiology, biotechnology, biological research and educational laboratory applications. The distinctive L-shaped configuration helps users spread liquid bacterial cultures, microbial suspensions and other compatible biological samples over the surface of prepared agar plates.
Its smooth contact surface supports uniform spreading while helping reduce clumping, uneven sample distribution and unnecessary damage to the solidified culture medium. The spreader is particularly useful for the spread plate technique, where a measured liquid sample is distributed across the surface of an agar plate for subsequent microbial growth and colony observation. An even distribution of inoculum can help support reproducible laboratory procedures, microbial enumeration and the investigation of colony formation, provided appropriate sample preparation and validated methods are followed.
The spreader is specified as sterile, making it suitable for microbiological procedures requiring sterile handling. The sterilisation method, packaging configuration and single-use status should be confirmed before ordering. For best results, follow approved aseptic techniques and avoid applying excessive pressure to the agar surface. Use an appropriate spreading method to minimise accidental contamination or damage to the medium. This laboratory accessory is also suitable for educational microbiology practicals where students learn sample inoculation, agar plate handling and microbial culture techniques.
Safety Precautions: Handle biological samples according to institutional biosafety procedures. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and dispose of contaminated spreaders in designated biological waste containers. This product is intended for laboratory and educational settings only and should be used under appropriate supervision. The item is supplied as the selected PolyLab L-Shaped Polypropylene Spreader only. Petri dishes, agar media, culture samples, pipettes, PPE and additional microbiology consumables are not included unless specified separately.
LabChoice Australia supplies PolyLab L-Shaped Spreaders and microbiology laboratory plasticware for school science laboratories, university teaching laboratories, microbiology departments, biotechnology research facilities and laboratories requiring practical accessories for agar plate inoculation and sample spreading.
