What kind of inoculation loop you recommend

I have finally succumbed to the dark side of the Shroomery and I’m experimenting with agar. I feel like I should have bought the nicer inoculation loop instead of the disposable plastic ones. Do any of you guys use the plastic disposable loops, or the metal ones. Also does anybody pc them and use again or the plastic ones to cheap to withstand the pc.

This thread was moved from Advanced Mycology.
Reason: Not advanced
Use what you prefer
Plastic ones are single use. They'll melt in the pressure cooker. Literally nothing to do with them being cheap tho. Certain plastics can be sterilized and some cannot.

I just use a paper clip, unfold and make it to where the bottom holds it like the scalpel opening and tighten it down.

I appreciate the ideas guys. It appears it way to easy to make my own, should have thought of that.

Dumb question, do you mean using a sterile swab, swab the spore print, then swab the plate like using the loop?

Yep works the same way as disposable loop. Also you can receive swabs with spores already on them like little ready to go inoculation loops. I like a non disposable tool though. And how precise you can be depositing spores
 

 Also for slants they're kind of a must imo for inoculation and retrieval.

I guess my plastic inoculation loop worked! I did a ms syringe to agar the other day, no growth yet. I should have been doing this a year ago.

I like the Homebrew style. Twist some kenthal wire around a small drill bit and insert the twisted end into the collet of an exacto as a handle. That wire is for vaping coils so it takes well to many flamings by torch with no issue.
