Product Description
Even colony distribution starts with a spreader that glides across agar without tearing it. MTC Bio spreaders come in four shapes, each with smooth, rounded edges that prevent cutting, scraping or gouging the medium during inoculation, and all ship in sterile packaging ready for use.
This listing is for MTC Bio catalog number M5441, the Triangle Cell Spreader, Extra Large 60 x 235 mm. The original L-shape, made of ABS with a slight upward curve at the tip, rotates easily around a round plate for uniform spreading. The ABS T-shape applies even pressure across its full 34 mm spreading edge, a common choice for CFU counts on water, milk and urine samples. Polypropylene triangle spreaders add a grooved handle for better grip and orientation and come in 30 mm and extra-large 60 mm spans, with peel-bag or individually wrapped packaging depending on the model. LIGHT LABS stocks MTC Bio consumables and ships quickly from Englewood, Colorado.
