The Bacti Cell Spreaders are unique products designed to greatly simplify and speed up bacterial culture work. There are two sizes: 30mm and 60mm wide, which allow these polypropylene Bacti Cell Spreaders to make it very easy to evenly distribute bacterial cells rapidly over an entire nutrient surface. The Bacti Cell Spreaders are individually wrapped (or available in bulk) and may be cleaned and autoclaved for multiple uses.
Benefits:
- Autoclavable, non-breakable (eliminates glass hazard)

- 60mm head for 100-150mm prepared plates
- Sturdy plastic provides uniform design
- Easy to manipulate without slippage
- Easy to manipulate around curves and into corners of prepared plates
- Avoids waste of “disposables” thus becoming an environmental benefit
- Always prevents agar surface tears
- Allows for even distribution of specimen
- Produces an even smear for any permanent slide staining, i.e., PVA preserved fecal specimen for protozoan parasites
- Microbiological research of all types, especially for distribution of dilutions, i.e., colony counts
