Utilizes a locking ring which secures sterile velveteen squares onto a PVC cylinder for easy control of the plating device. To produce replicas, the Petri dish carrying microbial colonies is inverted and lowered onto the cloth surface, then lifted. A fresh sterile nutrient plate is then lowered onto the velveteen surface and lifted, leaving a replica of the original colonies in the new dish.
May be disinfected between uses with a brief rinse in 70% ethanol or chlorine bleach
