Replica-Plating Tool

provides a convenient method for accurately replicating microbial colonies. This methodology was introduced by Lederberg in 1952 (J. Bacteriol. 63, 399). The consists of a PVC cylinder and a locking ring. Replication of colonies is easily performed. Simply make an imprint of the surface containing the colonies onto the fabric substrate then repeat the procedure using a fresh nutrient surface to transfer the colonies. The tool can be chemically disinfected between transfers with a brief rinse in 70% ethanol or a 0.025% bleach solution. Sterile fabric substrate is available separately.
