· Unlike glass spreaders, durable polypropylene L-Shaped Cell Spreaders are non-breakable and pose no safety hazard
· L-Shaped for convenient spreading; just turn the Petri dish for smooth, even sample distribution
· Smooth spreading surface and a slight upward turn reduce the chance that the spreader will dig into agar
· Packaged sterile (gamma irradiated) in individual or bulk, easy-to-open, paper/plastic wrappers
· Pre-sterilization eliminates flaming or autoclaving and reduces risk of contamination

L-Shaped Cell Spreaders are disposable, microbiological spreaders that provide an economical alternative to bending glass rods or pipettes for spreading samples on agar surfaces and filters in Petri dishes.
