* unlike glass spreaders, durable polystyrene Lazy-L spreaders are non-breakable and pose no safety hazard
* L-shaped for convenient "lazy" spreading; just turn the Petri dish for smooth, even sample distribution
* smooth spreading surface and a slight upward turn reduce the chance that the spreader will dig into agar
* packaged in presterilized pouches of one or 10 each
* presterilization eliminates flaming or autoclaving and reduces risk of contamination
* no more time spent bending glass rods or waiting for glass or metal spreaders to cool before use!
