CYCV2301 is a set of sterile, smooth, round glass beads for spreading bacterial or yeast cultures on agar plates. The beads are specially treated so no culture residue remains, and spreading with them is gentler on bacteria and more even than traditional spreaders, reaching the plate edge. Several plates can be spread at once, and the beads can be resterilized and reused.

ColiPlate Glass Beads (Sterilized) FAQ
How do I use them?
Add several sterile beads (6-8 per 9 cm plate) to a plate holding the culture, close the lid, and shake quickly back and forth and side to side for about 10 seconds on a clean bench. When the surface is dry, tip out the beads.
Can the beads be reused?
Yes, they can be sterilized repeatedly and used many times.
Why use beads instead of a spreader?
Spreading is more even, gentler on bacteria, and reaches the plate edge, which helps transformation efficiency.
