The process of sterilising an inoculating loop involves exposing it to high temperatures.

This is achieved by passing the loop at an angle through the flame of a gas burner.

The entire length of the wire should turn orange due to the intense heat, ensuring thorough sterilisation.

By incinerating all contaminants on the wire, the risk of cross-contamination is minimised.

Once the loop is sterilised, it should never be laid down, as this may cause it to become contaminated again.
