Description
The Sterile Disposable Scalpel is an essential tool for precision tasks in laboratory and mycology settings. Each scalpel is gamma irradiated for maximum sterility and individually packed in foil for contamination-free use. The No.10A blade offers a straight cutting edge, perfect for tasks such as slicing agar wedges, tissue samples, and other lab work. Made from durable carbon steel, it can be heat-sterilized by flame for multiple uses, providing both disposable and reusable. The handle features a graduated measure for precision, ensuring exact cuts every time. Ideal for mycology, medical, and laboratory environments, this scalpel guarantees sterile, precise, and reliable performance. Enjoy fast UK delivery.
Experiment Idea: Sterile Agar Transfer with a Disposable Scalpel
Objective: Learn how to successfully transfer a clean agar wedge to a fresh substrate using sterile techniques.
Materials:
- Sterile disposable scalpel
- Agar plate with mycelium growth
- Fresh sterile agar plates
- Flame source (for re-sterilizing the scalpel)
- Gloves
- Alcohol wipes
Steps:
- Use a fresh scalpel or Flame-sterilize a used scalpel before starting.
- Carefully slice a small section of colonized agar using the sterile scalpel.
- Open a new sterile agar plate and transfer the mycelium wedge onto it.
- Seal and label the new plate, then monitor for contamination or growth.
This experiment helps refine sterile technique, critical for successful mycology research. For more information on Agar and tissue samples. Please READ HERE
