Common Applications
Storage

Plating Beads, 5 mm, are spherical beads used to distribute liquid inoculum across the surface of agar plates. They are commonly employed for spreading cultures of microorganisms, including E. coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, to achieve uniform colony distribution following incubation.

Typical use involves adding an appropriate number of beads to a prepared agar plate, introducing the inoculum, gently agitating the plate to move the beads across the surface, and then removing the beads prior to incubation. Bead handling and disposal should follow laboratory procedures and biosafety guidelines.

  • Plating Beads
  • Spread Plating for Colony Isolation: Even distribution of liquid cultures on agar using Plating Beads to obtain well-isolated colonies of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Bacillus subtilis.

  • Quantitative CFU Enumeration: Uniform spreading of serially diluted samples to achieve accurate and reproducible colony-forming unit counts.

  • Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing (AST): Consistent lawn formation by evenly distributing standardized inocula for disk diffusion and other plate-based assays.

  • Phage Plaque Assays: Even plating of host cells and phage mixtures to produce clear, countable plaques on hosts such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

  • Transformation and Selection Plates: Rapid, uniform spreading of transformed cells on selective agar for screening recombinant colonies (e.g., cloning in Escherichia coli).
