An inoculation loop is a simple tool used to gather and transfer microscopic organisms from a culture or broth plate. The small loop removes a consistent amount of inoculum by using surface tension. The inoculation loop is flame-sterilized before and after each use to eliminate cross-contamination between cultures. (The loop must be cooled after sterilization to avoid destroying the organisms.)
