Product Description
Isolating single colonies goes faster with disposable wooden picks that are ready whenever you are, with no flaming or cooling of a metal loop. These birch inoculating picks let you touch a colony and transfer it to broth, plates or PCR tubes, then simply discard the pick, which keeps throughput high in screening and cloning work.
