Product Description
Spreading dozens of plates one at a time with a bent rod eats up the afternoon. These Zymo Research sterile glass beads let you spread bacteria or yeast across a whole stack of plates at once, giving even cell distribution with far less hands-on effort.
This listing is for catalog number S1001-B: Rattler Plating Beads, Bulk, 25 kg Bag. Pour the beads onto solid medium along with the liquid cell suspension, stack the plates and shake them side to side together. Afterward, invert the plates and pour the beads off from the lids. Beads ship sterile in polycarbonate bottles and can be reused after cleaning and washing. Options include a single 230 g bottle, a five-bottle pack and a 25 kg bulk bag. LIGHT LABS stocks the Zymo Research line, so kits, buffers and refills are always within reach.
