EZ-Spread™ Plating beads allows one to easily and safely spread bacterial and yeast cells across the surface of an agar plate.

• Sterile plating in just seconds
• No need for glass rods and potentially hazardous ethanol flaming
• More uniform spreading and more colonies

They are designed to spread 50 to 400 µL of bacterial or yeast cells onto an agar plate. These glass beads have been manufactured using a special mold to give consistent shape and diameter that yield optimal plating efficiencies.
